INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Information You Provide to Us. When you use the Site, we may collect information that could reasonably be used to contact you or to identify you personally, including without limitation your name, email address, telephone number, or mailing address (“Personal Informationâ€). You may also be asked to provide us with Personal Information when you register for an account or sign up to stay updated about our favorite products and services.
Information We Collect Automatically. Whenever you visit or interact with the Site, we may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect information about how you access or use the Site (“Usage Informationâ€). Usage Information may include your browser type, operating system, the page served, the time, and the preceding page views. However, this information does not identify you as an individual user. We do not treat Usage Information as Personal Information unless it is combined with other data that, once linked, can be used to identify you. Usage Information helps us understand which parts of the Sites are the most popular, where our online visitors are going, and what content or services users may find useful.

We use this information to better understand, customize and improve the Site, services and offerings. The information we collect through cookies or tracking pixels may help us understand how visitors use and engage with the Site. If you have provided us with your Personal Information, for example, when you registered on the Site or requested information from us, we may associate this Personal Information with information we have collected through cookies, tracking pixels or other technologies.
Cookies. A “cookie†is a file that websites send to a user’s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the user’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. Your browser may tell you how to be notified when you receive certain types of cookies or how to restrict or disable certain types of cookies. Please note, however, that without cookies you may not be able to use all of the features of the Site. When you use the Site, neither we nor any third parties collect Personal Information about your online activities, over time or across third party websites. The Help section of your browser may tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting cookies. To find out more about cookies, visit www.aboutcookies.org.
Third parties that we partner with may also use cookies, tracking pixels or other technologies to automatically collect information about your use of the Site. Data collected from a particular browser or Device may be used with another Device that is linked to the browser or Device on which such data was collected. We may also work with third parties to serve ads to you as part of a customized campaign on other websites or platforms. Some third-party partners and service providers that we engage may also place their own cookies on your browser. Note that this Privacy Policy only covers our use of cookies and does not include use of cookies by such third parties.
Google Analytics. We use a tool called “Google Analytics†to collect information about your use of the Site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often you visit the Site, what pages you visit when you do, and what other sites you may have visited prior to coming to this Site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve the Site. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the Site, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with any other Personal Information we may have collected from you. Although Google Analytics deploys a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.
