We want you to be aware that certain online tools exist to help us serve and recognize you when you visit one of our websites. We receive and store certain types of information when you visit our website. You may be familiar with the term “cookies.” When you access the Services, we (including companies we work with) may place small data files on your computer or other device. These data files may be web beacons, cookies, clear gifs, pixel tags, e-tags, flash cookies, or other local storage provided by your browser or associated applications (collectively called cookies). Cookies allow us to understand how users navigate to and around our website, view product pages, access content and make purchases. We may use cookies, for example, to keep track of your preferences and profile information. Cookies are also used to collect general usage and volume statistical information. If you want to remove or block cookies, you may be able to update your browser settings. You can also find instructions on how to manage cookies on different types of web browsers at www.allaboutcookies.org.
Some browsers have a “do not track” feature. It lets you tell websites you visit that you do not want them to track your online activity. These features are not yet uniform across browsers. Our sites are thus not currently set up to respond to these signals. For more information on Do Not Track signals, please visit https://allaboutdnt.com/.
We allow others to provide analytics services and serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet and in mobile applications. These entities may use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers and other technologies to collect information about your use of the Services and other websites and applications, including your IP address, web browser, mobile network information, pages viewed, time spent on pages or in mobile apps, links clicked and conversion information. We use this information to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests, and better understand your online activity. In particular, we use analytics services provided by Google Analytics. Google provides an opt-out for analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
