• What Are Cookies?

A Cookie is a small piece of computer code sent by a website and stored on the hard disk of your computer. A pixel tag (also known as a tracking pixel, web beacon, or clear GIF) is an embedded image on a website that may register a user's website activity. A Flash Cookie (also known as a Local Shared Object) is a data file stored on your computer by the websites that you visit. Flash Cookies provide similar functionality as Cookies, but are based on different technology, provide richer data collections, and are persistent; they do not go away when you exit your browser and generally cannot be deleted through your browser option tools.

Our online services use two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies only exist while your browser is open. We use session cookies for website functionality, such as managing items added to your shopping cart. Persistent cookies are not removed when you exit your web browser. We use persistent cookies to enable an easier log-in process, provide you with a more personalized shopping experience, and help you navigate our website more efficiently. We also use persistent cookies to show you the items you have previously browsed. We may use a flash cookie on our online services to enable or control flash-based content.

We may use cookies in order to identify you; provide relevant, interest-based advertising; remember your preferences; secure your access; know when content has been shown to you; provide aggregated auditing, research, and reporting for advertisers; understand and improve our online services; and detect and defend against fraud and other risks. When we send you an email, we may use cookies to understand if you have accessed the information provided in the email. We may combine information collected through the cookies with your Personal Information in order to provide you a personalized experience including advertising about products and services you may find of interest.

The information we collect from cookies also may allow us to identify you across devices, such as smartphones, tablets, computers, or related browsers.

We may allow certain approved third parties to place their cookies on our websites or within our advertisements. Your web browser may request advertisements directly from third-party advertising network servers which do not have a business relationship with us. These advertisements may place cookies that can view, edit, or set third-party cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from the third-party site. We are not responsible for the practices, including the use of cookies, employed by third party websites, mobile-enabled web or online services linked to or from this website's, or for the content contained therein.

Third-party websites, mobile-enabled web, and online services accessible on the Internet are outside the control or limits of this Cookie Policy.

Please refer to instructions provided by your service provider or the manufacturer of your device to learn how to adjust your settings. 

Our websites currently do not have a mechanism to recognize an Internet browser’s “Do Not Track” signals, and we cannot follow those signals.  Several of the companies that utilize cookies or other tracking or monitoring mechanisms enable you to opt out of advertising through mechanisms established by trade groups. 

When you set-up an account or log into your account on our websites or mobile applications, you may have an opportunity to make or change your selections with respect to each brand. You also will have an opportunity to opt-out of advertising email messages from us by clicking on an "unsubscribe" hyperlink contained in commercial e-mails those brands send you.
