Leases [Abstract]  
LEASES LEASESOur leases consist primarily of operating real estate leases for office space and data centers in the markets in which we conduct business. We also have operating and finance leases for computer and other equipment. Many of our leases include escalating rental payments and incentives, as well as termination and renewal options. Certain of our lease agreements provide that we pay the cost of property taxes, insurance and maintenance.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities consisted of the following:
