HOW WE USE COOKIES; INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING

We collect information through cookies. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart. Cookies are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

We may employ third-party service companies to process your information to assist us in better understanding the Websites’ visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.

Through your browser, you can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. We do not control and cannot guarantee the effectiveness of third-party cookie-management tools.

We also use information collected through cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to assist us and our partners, such as Facebook, in delivering interest-based advertising based on the way you shop and interact with the Websites. You have a choice about whether you want to allow use of your information in this manner, and can learn more and opt-out of online advertising by visiting: http://www.aboutads.info/choices.

Please note that the opt-out mechanism provided is cookie-based, so you must have cookies enabled in your web browser, and they will only affect the specific computer that is used to submit the request. If you have multiple computers or change computers, or use multiple browsers, you will need to submit an opt-out request for each. Once you opt out, if you delete your browser’s saved cookies, you will need to opt out again. Mobile devices may involve unique advertising choice mechanisms.

SAFEGUARDING PERSONAL INFORMATION

We use industry-standard security measures to protect the confidentiality of personally identifiable information under our control and appropriately limit access to it. However, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. We will notify you of any loss of data or breach of our security measures that has resulted in the loss or unauthorized access, disclosure, use or acquisition of personal information or otherwise presents a potential threat to such information, without undue delay, as required by law.

LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

Our Websites may contain third-party links to sites operated and maintained by third parties over which we have no control.
