Cookies and web beacons

Our Service and Websites uses “cookie” and “web beacon” technology. “Cookies” are short pieces of data generated by a web server or mobile application that the Service and Websites store on a user’s device. Our Service and Websites may require the use of a cookie for purposes of keeping information you enter on multiple pages together. Cookies also enable us to customize our Service and Websites and offerings to your needs, providing you with a better online experience with us. In addition, cookies are used to:

measure usage of various pages on our Service and Websites to help us make our information more pertinent to your needs and easy for you to access; and
provide functionality such as to online orders, our Service and Websites, and other functionality that we believe would be of interest and value to you.

The types of cookies that we use are referred to as “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies. Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted once you stop using the Service and Websites. Persistent cookies remain on your hard drive of your device until you delete them. Cookies do not, under ordinary circumstances, corrupt or damage your device, programs, or files.

In addition, the Service and Websites’ providers we use to serve and host our advertisements, and/or deliver our e-mails, use session and persistent cookies to track the number of times the Service and Websites are accessed and whether the Service and Websites were accessed from an advertisement. There are no cookies in advertisements or e-mails. A cookie is placed on your device only if and when you click on an advertisement or open an e-mail. The cookie generated from the advertisement or e-mail does not contain any personally identifiable information and will remain on your hard drive until you delete it.

Beacons are used in combination with cookies to help websites and mobile applications’ operators understand how visitors interact with their online Service and Websites. A beacon is typically a transparent graphic image (usually 1-pixel x 1-pixel). In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s hard drive, beacons are embedded invisibly on online pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. These beacons are not tied to personally identifiable information. The use of beacons allows the application to measure the actions of the visitor using the application that contains the beacon. It makes it easier to follow and record the activities of a recognized browser, such as the path of visited pages and/or applications. We use the information provided by beacons to develop a better understanding of how our users use the Service and Websites and to facilitate those users’ interactions with the Service and Websites. We may make the aggregate data obtained from analytics (including from our third-party analytics providers, if applicable) publicly available. If this data is made available, none of the information will be personally identifying information or potentially personally-identifying information.

If you would like to manage your cookie preferences or learn more information about this practice and your right to decline (or opt-out of) cookies placed by us, please contact us at [email protected].

C. PRIVACY-RELATED INQUIRIES AND COMPLAINTS

We treat our users’ privacy concerns with utmost respect and attention. If you believe that there was an instance of non-compliance with this Privacy Policy with regard to your personal information or you have other related inquiries or concerns, you may write or contact us and our technical support for the Service and Websites by e-mail at [email protected].

In your message, please describe in as much detail as possible the nature of your inquiry or the ways in which you believe that the Privacy Policy has not been complied with. We will investigate your inquiry or complaint promptly.
