COOKIES / TRACKERS

We use cookies and potentially other technologies, like pixel tags and web beacons, on our Sites. We use these to understand how you use the Sites, the pages you visited, and to make it easier for you to navigate the Sites. We also use these to remember information about you and your preferences when you re-visit our Sites in order to improve and simplify your experience.  Our goal is to make your experience more personal to you. We can also use the information to optimize the experience based on your hardware, software versions, and browser type. Sometimes we will use a session ID cookie, for example, to allow you to view your shopping cart. These normally expire when you close your browser.

Most web browsers include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online.
