NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION COLLECTED
Like many other websites and applications, we may automatically collect certain information, which may or may not be personally identifiable information, regarding those who access and/or use our Website. Such information may include, among other things, the Internet Protocol ("IP") address of your computer, your device ID, the IP address of your Internet service provider, your zip code, the date and time you access the Website, the Internet address of a referring website, the operating system you are using, the sections or pages of the Website that you visit, and the images and content viewed. Some of the ways in which we may collect and use such information is further described below.
CLICKSTREAM DATA
As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left at each website you visit. This information, sometimes referred to as "clickstream data," can be collected and stored by a website's server. For example, clickstream data can tell us the type of computer and browsing software you use and the address of the website from which you linked to the Website. We may collect and use clickstream data as a form of aggregate information to anonymously determine how much time visitors in general spend on each page of our Website, how visitors navigate throughout the Website and how we may tailor our Website to better meet the needs of visitors. This information often will be used to improve our Website and our services. Any collection or use of clickstream data will involve the collection of anonymous and aggregated data, and will not intentionally contain any personal information.
COOKIES, TRACKING PIXELS, AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
The Website may use cookies, a type of technology that installs a small amount of information on a website user's computer or other device to permit a website to, for example, recognize future visits using that computer or device. We may also use other similar technologies (including, without limitation, tracking pixels, as described further below, and other identifiers) to gather non-personally identifiable information. We may use cookies and similar technologies on the Website to customize your visit, to enable us to enhance our service, or for other purposes related to our business. For example, information provided through cookies may be used to recognize you as a previous user of the Website so you do not have to enter your personal information (i.e., name, address, etc.) every time you visit the Website to purchase a product or service and to offer personalized content such as reminders of products you previously ordered or may need/want. You may choose to decline cookies by adjusting your browser preferences, but doing so may affect your use of the Website and your ability to access certain features of the Website or engage in transactions through the Website. If you delete your cookies, change browsers or use a different cookie, cookies that we may use (or an opt-out cookie) may no longer work, which may impact or limit certain features you can use on the Website.
We may also employ, either directly or through third parties, tracking pixels. Tracking pixels are tiny, transparent graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to provide analytical information concerning the user experience as well as to support custom marketing activities for users of the Website. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, tracking pixels are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use tracking pixels to help us better manage content, such as by improving the user interface or improving our marketing programs. We also may use non-personally identifiable information to create aggregate tracking information reports regarding user demographics, traffic patterns and purchases and may link tracking information with personal information provided by users. Cookies and tracking pixels may also be used to track your purchases for the purpose of reporting sales anonymously (i.e., without transferring any of your personal information) to third parties that you used to access the Website including, but not limited to, blogs, advertising networks or comparison shopping websites that link users to our Website.
MANAGING COOKIES
Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies and to delete cookies. The methods for doing so vary from browser to browser, and from version to version. You can however obtain up-to-date information about blocking and deleting cookies via these links:
Blocking some or all cookies will have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including our Website and our services.
Some devices (i.e., your smartphone or tablet) allow you to refuse to accept cookies and to delete cookies. The methods for doing so vary from device to device, and from version to version.
