We furthermore collect information that is sent to us by your web  browser, which may include without limitation information that does not  identify you personally (such as the date and time of your visit,  information about your web browser, etc.). The information we receive in  such manner depends on the settings on your web browser. If you have  created a user identity on one of your visits to this website, we may  link the information provided by your browser to information that  identifies you personally and use it for the purposes described below.  Please review the settings of your web browser if you want to learn what  information your browser can send or how to change your browser  settings.
 

We may also receive certain personal information about you from third  parties where you have agreed to share such information with us, such as  through your use of a social network authentication to sign in to this  website.
 

Cookies and Web Beacons, JavaScript tags, and Other Web Technologies
 

We collect information that is typically not personally identifiable  through the use of web technologies, including without limitation  "session cookies," "persistent cookies," "web beacons" (also referred to  as "tracking pixels,"), "pixel tags," or "action tags"), and  "Javascript tags." As the Internet evolved, we may implement and use  different types of technologies for this purpose.
 

We may place web technologies on this site directly, and may place web  technologies on behalf of the partner whose branding appears on this  website or its service providers and allow that partner to utilize the  data collected. They also help us identify your IP address. The  information collected by web technologies does not identify you  personally. However, if you have created a user identity on one of your  visits to this website, for example, by making a purchase, we may link  the information we collect using web technologies to the information  that identifies you personally.
 

Cookies. When you visit this website, your computer may receive  one or more "cookies" in order to help personalize and support your use  of this website, our services, and/or the services of our partners. A  "cookie" is a small text file that is transferred to your computer's web  browser by a web server, and can be read by a web server in the same  domain at a later time. If you do not wish to receive cookies or wish to  manage when you accept cookies in general, you may set your browser to  reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer.  We provide more information on this in the "Your Choices" section,  below. Although you are not required to accept our cookies, if you set  your browser to reject cookies, you may not be able to use all of the  features and functionality of this website. Cookies allow a website to  customize information that is presented to you through your use of this  website (such as to display personalized content and targeted  advertising to you on your future visits to this website), and to save  time by storing information so you do not need to re-enter it during a  later use of our website. In general, cookies do not identify you  personally. We may use a combination of "session cookies" and  "persistent cookies" on this website, further described below.
 

Session Cookies. A "session cookie" is a temporary cookie that  expires when you close your browser. A session cookie assigns a  randomly-generated, unique identification number to your computer when  you access this website. Assigning your computer a number facilitates  the proper functioning of the features of our websites by permitting us  to maintain a for your session, such as maintaining the contents of your  shopping cart during checkout. We also use session cookies to collect  anonymous information (i.e., information that does not identify you  personally) about the ways visitors use this website - which pages they  visit, which links they use, and how long they stay on each page. We  analyze this information (known as "click-stream information") to better  understand our visitors' interests and needs and to improve the content  and functionality of this website.
 

Persistent Cookies. Unlike a session cookie, a "persistent  cookie" does not expire when you close your browser. It stays on your  computer until the expiration date set in the cookie (for example, at  the end of a calendar month) or until you delete it. Persistent cookies  can be used to "tag" your computer so that the next time you visit (or  someone using your computer visits), our server will recognize you, not  by name, but by the "tag" on your computer. This will enable us to  provide you with a personalized experience even if we do not know who  you are. It will also allow us to collect more accurate information  about the ways people use this website, for example, how people use this  website on their first visit and how often they return. Using  persistent cookies permits us to provide you with a more personalized  shopping experience and, in some cases, may save you the trouble of  re-entering information already in our database.
 

Web Beacons.  When you visit this website, your computer may  receive one or more "web beacons" in order to assist us with delivering  cookies on this website, to collect anonymous information about the use  of this website by our visitors, and to deliver customized or targeted  content to you on this website and through our partners. Web beacons  (also referred to as "tracking pixels," "1x1 gifs," "single-pixel gifs,"  "pixel tags," or "action tags") are graphic images, usually no larger  than a 1x1 pixel, placed at various locations on this website. They also  help us identify browser types, search terms that bring visitors to our  website, and the domain names of websites that refer traffic to us. We  also utilize web beacons to provide us with more information on any  emails we send out. In particular, a web beacon in an email  communication will send us information to let us know that you have  received, opened, or acted upon an e-mail you have chosen to receive  from us.
 

JavaScript Tags. This website may include one or more JavaScript  tags which are used by us to collect anonymous information about the use  of this website by our visitors, and to deliver customized or targeted  content to you on this website and through our partners. We may use  JavaScript tags to anonymously track how visitors interact with our  websites, including where they came from and the manner in which they  use our websites.

The privacy policy of our partner, and of the publisher,  manufacturer or operator of the product or service you provide, will  govern how that party uses and protects any of your personal information  that we provide to them.
 

Our Service Providers.
