How Does the Website Use Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies?

A "cookie" is a small file placed on your device when you browse the Internet. It assigns a unique identifier (a random serial number) to your device, but it does not personally identify you, nor does it collect information stored on your device. Cookies, along with similar tracking methods such as web beacons and clear pixels, allow us to store and access information on your device. Each time you interact with the Website, your web browser provides us with that unique identifier. We use cookies to track your usage of the Website, keep you logged in, facilitate transactions, and analyze your activity to improve your experience.

Here are the types of cookies we use:

1. Advertising Cookies
These cookies are placed on your device by advertisers or ad servers to display relevant ads. They help track your visits to the Website and other websites, and they enable advertisers to customize ads and track their frequency. These cookies are linked to your device, not your personal identity.

2. Session Cookies
Session cookies are used to track your activities as you navigate the Website. These cookies help ensure that you don't need to re-enter information on every page. For example, session cookies can keep track of items in your shopping cart while you're browsing the Website.

3. Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies monitor how users access and interact with the Website. These cookies help us assess which features are performing well and which areas need improvement. For example, we use Google Analytics to analyze Website performance. We are limited in how we can use and share information collected through Google Analytics, in accordance with its Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

SDKs and Mobile Device Identifiers
  Mobile apps may use software similar to cookies to track device information, such as the device’s identifier and operating system, and monitor how the app is used. This software does not personally identify you.

Proximity Beacons
  Proximity beacons send signals to your device when you’re near specific products or stores. These notifications are sent only with your permission, and the beacon can also collect location data to tailor advertising to you.

What Happens If You Refuse to Accept Cookies or Provide Information?
