​Cookies and Other Technologies
We sometimes collect non-identifiable information from visits to our websites to help us provide better customer service.

This information is sometimes known as “clickstream data.” OMA or others on our behalf may use this data to analyze trends and statistics and to help us provide better customer service.
​
Also, when we collect personal data from you in a transaction, we may extract some information about that transaction in a non-identifiable format and combine it with other non-identifiable information such as clickstream data.

Some OMA pages use cookies, sent by OMA or its third party vendors, or other technologies to better serve you when you return to the website. You can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can also set your browser to turn off cookies. If you do so, however, some websites may not work properly.
