Information Collected by Automated Means

We and our third-party service providers may use a variety of technologies, such as cookies, web beacons, embedded scripts, and eTags (“Tracking Technologies“), that automatically collect and store certain information whenever you visit or interact with the website, view, or click on advertisements, or visit our social media pages. This includes log data that automatically records information about your visit, such as your browser type, operating system, the URL of the page that referred you, the different actions you performed, and the IP address you used to access pages on the website. We use this information to administer the website, analyze trends, provide you with an experience that is relevant to your location based on the IP address (e.g., to direct you to the appropriate shopping cart that services your country), gather information about visitor movements, help diagnose potential problems with our server, investigate actual or potential security incidents, and ensure that the website is working properly.

We may assign your device one or more cookies to facilitate access to our website and to personalize your online experience. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user's computer or mobile device for record keeping purposes. A flash cookie is similar to a cookie, but it can store more complex data in order to remember settings, preferences, and usage. Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your devices until you delete them) to: (1) allow you to use the website without having to re-enter your username and password, if applicable; (2) enhance or personalize your website usage; (3) monitor website usage; (4) manage the website; and (5) improve the website and our products and services.

If you are logged into a social media website while browsing on our website, the social media plugins may allow the social media website to receive information about your visit-including the pages that you viewed-and connect the visit to your personal information. This allows us to share information about your activities on our website with other users of their social media website. For example, Facebook social media plugins allow Facebook to show your Likes and comments on our website to your Facebook friends. Your use of social media plugins is subject to each social media website's Privacy Statement, so we encourage you to use care and thoughtfully read the Privacy Statement of each social media website that you use.
