6. COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

Cookies, Pixels and Web Beacons

Cookies are small data files that are downloaded onto your computer or mobile device when you use our Services. These files are unique to your device or account. Cookies make it easier for you to use our Services by saving your preferences so that we can improve your subsequent visits to our Services – for example, remembering your login information. Cookies help us learn which areas of our Services are useful and which areas need improvement.

Cookies may be either persistent or temporary (also known as session) cookies. A persistent cookie retains user preferences for a particular website, app or service, allowing those preferences to be used in future use sessions and remains valid until its set expiry date (unless deleted by the user before the expiry date). A temporary cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings on your browser or device. Each browser has its own methods for doing this. For detailed instructions on how to disable, block, or delete cookies in your browser, consult your browser’s help files. For more information regarding your choices with respect to cookies and other tracking technologies, please see “Your Rights and Choices Regarding Your Information” below. However, if you choose to disable this function, your experience with our Services may be impaired, and some features may not work as they were intended.

Pages on our website and in our emails may contain elements known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs and pixel tags) that permit us to analyze how our website and Services are used, for example, to count users who have visited a webpage or opened an email.

When we use cookies or other similar technologies, we may set the cookies ourselves or ask third parties to do so to help us.

Third-Party Cookies and Tracking Technologies.

In addition to performing our own analytics and providing content or advertisements on our Services and elsewhere online, we may work with third parties and other vendors who provide us with information and services relating to our advertising and analytics. These service providers may set and access their own tracking technologies on your device (including cookies and web beacons) and may otherwise collect or have access to information about you. Some of these parties may collect Personal Information over time when you use our Services or other online websites and services.

7. YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES REGARDING YOUR INFORMATION

Marketing Preferences

You can opt out from receiving future marketing communications from us at any time by using the unsubscribe function in the email you receive from us or by contacting us as set forth under “How to Contact Us” above. Please allow sufficient time for your preferences to be processed. Even if you opt out of receiving marketing messages, we may still contact you for transactional purposes like confirming or following up on an order or service request, asking you to review a product or service you have ordered, or notifying you of product recalls. If you later opt back into getting marketing communications from us, we will remove your information from our opt-out databases.

Cookies

As noted above in “How We Collect, Use, and Disclose Information,” you can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings on your browser or device. However, if you choose to disable cookies, your experience with our Services may be impaired and some features may not work as they were intended.

You can also manage your cookie preferences on our website by clicking the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link in the footer of our website.

Additionally, Do Not Track is a preference you can set in your web browser to inform websites that you do not want to be tracked. You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the preferences or settings page of your web browser. However, these features are not yet uniform, so we do not currently respond to such features or signals. Therefore, if you select or turn on a “do not track” feature in your web browser, we and our third party providers may continue collecting information about your online activities as described in this Privacy Notice.

Third-Party Services

You have the choice to limit the data that you provide to third-party services (e.g., social media platforms) that is subsequently disclosed to us, where such data is collected through the options provided to you by the applicable third party service (for example, the options provided by a third party social media platform when you connect your social media account with our Services).  You can also disconnect your use of our Services from the third party service at any time subject to the options provided to you by the applicable third party service.  Please note, however, that if you disconnect from the third-party service, that will not delete the data that we may have previously collected while you were connected.

  • Right to Non-Discrimination: If you choose to exercise your privacy rights under  the CCPA, we will not charge you different prices or provide a different quality of services unless those differences are related to your Personal Information or otherwise permitted by law. 

These rights are not absolute, and in certain cases we may decline your request as permitted by law. If you are a California resident and would like to exercise any such rights listed above, please contact us by any of the following:

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a consumer request related to your Personal Information. Please understand that in some cases we are required to verify your request and may require you to provide some information to enable us to carry out such verification. Which information is required may depend on the type and sensitivity of information subject to the consumer request. We will deny requests from agents that do not submit proof of legal authorization to act on your behalf. To verify that an agent has legal authority to act for you, we may require a copy of a power of attorney or require that you provide the agent with written permission and, for requests requiring verification, verify your own identity with us.
