We automatically track information through the use of a “cookie.” A “cookie” is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. WD uses cookies to collect non-personally identifiable information through the Sites. Some of our business partners use cookies on our Sites (for example, advertisers). We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf.

WD can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our Terms of Use, to protect our services, Sites or a person or entity.If we are going to use your personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, we will post a notice prominently on our Sites.
