Cookies
As noted above, we use Cookies on the Digital Services, including our websites. We use Cookies to power and improve the Digital Services (including to remember your actions and preferences), to run analytics and better understand user interaction with the Digital Services (in our legitimate interests to administer, improve and optimize the Digital Services), and for advertising purposes. We may also permit third parties and service providers to use Cookies on the Digital Services to better tailor the products, services and advertising on the Digital Services. When you interact with the Digital Services, advertisements may be displayed to you based upon information such as purchasing or browsing behaviors on the Digital Services.
These tracking technologies enable us to identify the ads you see, whether you click on them, and other actions you take on our sites, so that we can tailor advertising, including for example avoiding repetition of ad content. We do not use personal information, such as name or contact details, to tailor advertising. For example, if you visit our website, your visit may be recorded in a cookie which may result in your seeing a targeted ad when you visit a different website. For more information about interest based advertising and the ability to opt-out from this practice across multiple companies, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/. Some media buying platforms such as Facebook enable us to use personal information such as email addresses, and we take steps to honor the privacy restrictions imposed by those platforms.
We may use advertisers, third party ad networks, and other advertising companies, to serve advertisements on the site. Please be advised that such advertising companies may gather information about your visit to the site or other sites (such as through cookies, web beacons and other technologies) to enable such advertising companies to market products or services to you, to monitor which ads have been served to your browser and which webpages you were viewing when such ads were delivered. These advertisers may read and place cookies on our site, but they do not have access to personal information such as name or contact details.
The Digital Services, whether accessed on a computer or a mobile device, are not at this time configured to read or respond to “do not track” settings or signals in your browser headings, which vary by browser provider. In lieu of a browser-based opt-out solution, users can utilize the digital advertising alliance and other approved methods for placement of opt-out cookies. Our website and those of our third party advertisers or other vendors are configured to read and honor these opt-out cookies, so long as they are present on your computer.
There are four main types of cookies – here’s how and why we use them.
(1) Site functionality cookies – these cookies allow you to navigate the site and use our features, such as “add to cart”.
(2) Site analytics cookies – these cookies allow us to measure and analyze how our customers use the site, to improve both its functionality and your shopping experience.
(3) Customer preference cookies – when you are browsing or shopping on our online store, these cookies will remember your preferences (like your language or location), so we can make your shopping experience as seamless as possible, and more personal to you.
(4) Targeting or advertising cookies – these cookies are used to deliver ads relevant to you. They also limit the number of times that you see an ad and help us measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
By using our site, you agree to us placing these sorts of cookies on your device and accessing them when you visit the site in the future. If you want to delete any cookies that are already on your computer, the “help” section in your browser should provide instructions on how to locate the file or directory that stores cookies. Most browsers automatically accept Cookies by default, but you can choose to set your browser to remove or reject Cookies through your browser controls. Please keep in mind that deleting or disabling Cookies can impact your user experience and may cause certain features and functionality of the Digital Services to work incorrectly or no longer be available, and you might not be able to take advantage of certain functions of the Digital Services. Additionally, blocking Cookies may not completely prevent how we share information with third parties such as our advertising partners.

However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of such firewalls and secure server software. We recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us. How long we retain your personal information depends on different factors, such as whether we need the information to maintain your account, to provide any requested products or services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes or enforce other applicable contracts and policies.

We will process your request as soon as possible in accordance with applicable law, but please be aware that in some circumstances you may receive a few more messages until the unsubscribe request is processed. Please note that we may still send you important administrative messages even if you opt-out of receiving marketing communications. Additionally, we may send you information regarding our services, such as information about changes to our policies and other notices and disclosures required by law.
