Cookies
This Website may use a technology called "cookies". A cookie is a tiny element of data that the Website can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive so we can recognize you when you return. All pages on the Website where you are prompted to log in or that are customizable require that you accept cookies. There are two main types of cookies:
(i)Session Cookies: these are temporary cookies that expire at the end of a browser session; when you leave the site. Session cookies allow the website to recognize you as you navigate between pages during a single browser session and allow you to use the website most efficiently. For example, session cookies enable a website to remember that a user has placed items in an online shopping basket.
(ii)Persistent Cookies: in contrast to session cookies, persistent cookies are stored on your equipment between browsing sessions until expiration or deletion. They therefore enable the website to "recognize" you on your return, remember your preferences, and tailor services to you.
In addition to session cookies and persistent cookies, there may be other cookies, which are set by the websites which you have chosen to visit, in order to provide us, or third parties, with information.
If you have registered with the Website, these cookies (1) may let us know who you are, (2) are necessary to access your account information (stored on our computers) in order to deliver products and personalized services, and (3) will provide us and our service providers with information that we will use to personalize the Website in accordance with your preferences. Cookies are also required to optimize your shopping experience in that they allow you to add multiple items to your shopping basket before checking out. You may set your web browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. However, should you decide not to accept cookies from this Website, you will limit the functionality we can provide when you visit the Website.
We may also use cookies to improve the performance of our advertising on other websites. Although you may not opt out of receiving online advertisements generally, you may control the collection of data on our site used for targeted advertising during your visits to other websites.
Other Tracking Technologies
We also use "pixel tags" (also known as “web beacons” or “tracking pixels”), which are tiny graphic images, on our websites and in our emails. Pixel tags help us analyze our customers' online behavior and measure the effectiveness of our websites and our advertising. We work with service providers that help us track, collect, and analyze this information.
Use of Google Analytics
We use “Google Analytics” to help us anonymously track and report visitor behavior information and visitors’ standard log information to the Website. This information (including but not limited to: IP address, data storage, maintenance services, database management, web analytics and information processing) helps us analyze and evaluate how the Website is used as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the Website. No personally identifying data is included in this type of reporting. Google Analytics may have access to your information only for the purposes of performing these tasks and on our behalf and under obligation similar in those in this Privacy Policy. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this Website is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use (http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html) and the Google Privacy Policy (http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/). You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies on your browser or by opting out of Google Analytics Cookies (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).
Advertising/Behavioral Targeting
We may use third party ad network providers to help present ads on the Website, as well as other service providers to evaluate and provide us with information about the use of the platforms and viewing of our content. Such providers may place and access cookies, pixel tags, or similar technologies on your device to serve you ads or other content personalized to your interests, which they infer from your browsing on the Website and other sites you have visited. In doing so, the provider collects or has access to non-Personal Information such as your Usage Information. The use of cookies, pixel tags, or similar technologies by these providers is subject to their own privacy policies, not ours.
Information We Receive From Third Parties
We may receive information about you from third parties. For example, if you are on another website and you opt-in to receive information from our Website, that website will submit to us your email address and other Personal Information about you so that we may contact you as requested. You may also choose to participate in a third party application or feature (such as one of our Facebook or Twitter applications or a similar application or feature on a third party website) through which you allow us to collect (or the third party to share) information about you, including usage information, device identifiers, and Personal Information such as lists of your friends, "likes", comments you have shared, groups and location. Services like Facebook Connect might give you the option to post information about your activities on our Website to your profile page to share with others within your social networks. In addition, we may receive information about you if other users of a third party website give us access to their profiles and you are one of their "connections" or information about you is otherwise accessible through your "connections'" web page, profile page, or similar page on a social networking or other third party website or interactive service. We may also receive information about you from third party data providers. We may supplement the information we collect about you through the Website with such information from third parties in order to enhance our ability to serve you, to tailor our content to you and/or to offer you opportunities to purchase products or services that we believe may be of interest to you.
