Cookies are small data files that websites and online services send to and store on your computer or mobile device through your web browser (if you allow).  Cookies enable websites and online services to recognize your browser and record certain information about your visits.  We use cookies on the Site to help us remember who you are, to enhance and personalize your experience, to understand and save your preferences for future visits, to compile information about our users, and to carry out other tasks relating to the operation or improvement of the Site.  We may also use information collected from cookies together with PII we have collected from our users.  We do not, however, use cookies to access information on your computer or mobile device.  Most web browsers are initially set to accept cookies, but you can change your browser settings to notify you when you are sent a cookie, giving you the ability to accept or reject it, or you can choose to routinely and manually delete cookies stored on your computer or mobile device.  Each time you revisit the Site, your ability to restrict our use of cookies on that service is subject to your browser settings and limitations at the time.  Please note that if you choose to disable or reject cookies from the Site, the Site or portions thereof may become inaccessible or may not function properly.  For more information on how to manage cookies, visit https://www.aboutcookies.org/.  To manage Adobe Local Shared Objects (also known as LSOs or Flash cookies), please visit https://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html.

We may also use “web beacons” (also known as “clear GIFs,” “pixel tags,” etc.) – which are small bits of code embedded in web pages or in emails – to deliver or communicate with cookies, to count users who have visited a web page, and to understand usage patterns.  We may include web beacons in emails to help us recognize activities such as when an email was opened, how many times an email was forwarded, which links in the email were clicked on, etc.  Web beacons cannot be declined when delivered via a regular web page.  However, web beacons can be refused when delivered via email.  If you do not wish to receive web beacons via email, you will need to disable HTML images or refuse HTML (select Text only) emails via your email software.
Security

We use commercially reasonable measures to safeguard the security of the Site and our customers’ information, including limiting access to our customers’ information to only those of our employees, agents, contractors and service providers who need to access such information in order to perform tasks for us, and we require that they not make any unauthorized use or disclosure of the information. 

Also, in an effort to provide our customers with a secure shopping environment, we have taken the following steps:

• We use a PCI-compliant third-party vendor to host the checkout and payment process on the Site, including shopping cart, checkout page and payment processing, for purchases made on the Site.  All payment processing is handled through the vendor’s secure servers.  “PCI-compliant” means that the vendor follows the Payment Card Industry (“PCI”) data security standards with respect to your credit card information. 

• The Site and our servers do not store, process, or transmit your credit card information.

Despite these efforts, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure and, therefore, we and our service vendor cannot guarantee the absolute security of our users’ account information.  We will endeavor to notify our users if and to the extent required by law, in the event we become aware of a breach or suspected breach of the security of the Site that affects our users’ account information.  However, you understand and acknowledge that we are not liable for any breach of security resulting from causes or events that are beyond our control, including, without limitation, your own act or omission, corruption of storage media, defects in third-party data security products or services, power failures, natural phenomena, riots, acts of vandalism, hacking, sabotage, or terrorism.  By providing your email address to us, you acknowledge and agree that we may notify you via email regarding an actual or suspected security breach.
