A “cookie” is a small file that is placed on your device when you use the Internet and which assigns to you a unique identifier (a random serial number), but which does not personally identify you. Cookies also do not collect information stored by you on your device. We use cookies and similar tracking methods (like web beacons and clear pixels) to access or store information on your computer or device (collectively “device”). Your web browser then makes that unique identifier readable by us each time you submit a query to the Website. We use cookies on the Website to, among other things, track your use of services, log your registration information, document your user preferences, keep you logged into the Website or your account, facilitate transaction, and track each Website web page you visit. Cookies help us understand how the Website is being used. We then use this information to improve the user experience. We may employ the following types of cookies when you use the Website:
Advertising Cookies. This type of cookie is placed on your computer or device by advertisers and ad servers to display advertisements to you. Advertising cookies allow advertisers and ad servers to gather information about your visits and use of the Website and other websites, change ads sent to a specific identified computer or device, and track the frequency at which an ad has been viewed and by what computer or device. These cookies are linked to a computer or device and do not reveal a person’s identity.
Session Cookies. Website webpages do not, in of themselves, have a built-in memory. We may use session cookies to record your activities as you navigate through the Website’s web pages. This tracking is accomplished in order to prevent the Website from needing to obtain from your information already provided to the Website. For example, these types of cookies help to maintain items you have placed in your Website shopping cart during your use of the Website.
Analytics Cookies. An analytic cookie is a type of technology that monitors how users access the Website, and how they interact with and navigate through the Website. These cookie types provide us with information concerning which Website features are working, and how we can improve the Website. In some instances, we use Google Analytics cookies to assess the performance of the Website. Our capacities and abilities to use and share information collected by Google Analytics concerning your use of the Website is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.
Persistent Cookies. We may use cookies that allow the Website to record your Website preferences each time you visit the Website. For example, if you choose to read the site “en español” when you first visit the Website, when you next return to the Website, it will appear automatically in Spanish.

Website Administration and Management Cookies. Cookies used to manage and administer the Website are used to maintain your identity or session on the Website. This keeps you from being logged off from your account unintentionally and to ensure that any information you enter on a given Website page is maintained from page to page. These types of cookies cannot be separately turned off. They can be disabled through the disabling of all cookies through the settings in your browser.
Cookies for Security. In order to help identify and prevent Website security risks we use cookies. We use these types of cookies to authenticate users and to protect user data from unauthorized access.
Cookies of Third Parties. Third-party cookies may be placed on your computer or device when you visit the Website. These cookies allow the third parties to gather and track certain information about you. These cookies can be manually disabled in your browser. These third-party services used by the Website include Google Analytics, Google AdSense and Google AdWords, discussed below. Google uses what is known as the “DoubleClick” cookie in the ads served on the websites of Google’s partners, such as websites displaying AdSense ads or participating in Google certified ad networks. When users visit a Google partner’s website and either view or click on an ad, a cookie may be dropped on that end user’s browser.
Besides cookies, we may use similar items such as web beacons, pixel tags, clear gifs, and different tracking technologies on the Website in order to customize the Website experience to your use thereof and to improve your use experience. A “web beacon,” “pixel tag,” or “clear gif” is a small object or image embedded in a web page or email. For example:
Precise Geo-Tags. Any of our applications may provide to us your precise geo-location. You will be provided with a push or pop-up notification on your device requesting your consent to obtain this information from you. However, we will not always request to know where you are, generally, such as your postal code, state, or city in which you are located, as this is not a “specific” or identifying location.
SKDs and Mobile Device Identifiers. Any mobile app we provide may use software that records similar to the information which would otherwise be recorded via a cookie. This includes information concerning information that identifies your particular mobile device and operating system and while tracking the way this device uses the app. This type of software does not personally identify you.
Clear Pixels. We may use clear pixels. This is a small piece of code that is placed on a given webpage or email, which is invisible to the eye. These items are used to track and monitor general website activity, to install cookies on your devices, to save your Website access information, and in order to facilitate online advertising activities. Clear pixels may also be present in our email messages in order to allow us to track whether a particular email have been opened.
Proximity Beacons. We may use proximity beacons to send a signal to mobile application installed on your device over very short distances to inform you that products are on sale in a given store. These types of beacons will only become active when you are in a given location and only if you give permission to the applicable application to send you such notifications. Conversely, these types of beacons may send us information about your location so that we may better customize advertising you receive from us.

Conversely, your browser may allow you to bar, remove or reject all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent for storage on your device. Your browser may also provide you with the ability to delete cookies. If you choose to get rid of, bar or reject cookies, this may have an adverse effect on your use of Website, its services, or your account.
Further, you may opt not to provide the Website with any facts about yourself or other requested information. However, any decision to refrain from providing the Website with information, or any decision to unsubscribe from an account, service, or content may restrict your ability to access features or functions of the Website.

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=enHowever, this browser deactivation add-on offered by Google Analytics does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services we may engage.

Any data we may collect through the use of these cookies is used in accordance with this Privacy & Cookie Policy or Google’s own privacy policy. You can set the manner by which Google serves advertising to you through the Google Ad Preferences page. You may also be able to opt out of interest-based advertising through your browser’s cookie settings or by using the above described browser add-on.
The Website makes use of Google AdSense, a third-party marketing network service.
