USE OF COOKIES AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES
We may employ cookie technology to store and sometimes track information about the users of the Site. Cookies are a feature of web browser software that allows web servers to recognize the computer used to access a web site. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by a user’s web browser on the user’s hard drive. Cookies can remember what information a user accesses on one web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that web site by the same user or to use the information to streamline the user’s transactions on related web pages. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can change your browser to prevent the browser from accepting cookies.
We may use web beacons (small pieces of data that are embedded in images on the pages of web sites) and auditing software to track page views and entry and exit points to and from the Site. In addition, we may use web beacons, cookies, customized links and/or similar technologies to determine whether electronic newsletters or other information sent by us to those who have requested them from us have been opened and which links are clicked. Any data collected will only be used in an aggregate form and will not contain any Personal Information, as that term is defined below.
THIS SITE USES GOOGLE ADWORDS
Portions of this Site use the Google AdWords remarketing service to advertise on third party websites (including Google) to previous visitors to our Site. As a result, we might advertise to previous visitors who haven’t completed a task on our Site (for example using the contact form to make an inquiry). This advertising activity could be in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page, or a site in the Google Display Network. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to our Site. Any data collected will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy and Google’s privacy policy.
Users can turn off cookies to avoid AdWords and still be able to use the portions of the Site that use Google AdWords.
Some portions of the website do not offer a “Do not track” option.
The e-store portion of the Site requires cookies to be enabled; otherwise the Site will not work for you. There is no alternative to having cookies enabled. Without cookies enabled, the Site will not function properly or be effective. For example, cookies are needed when users add an item to their shopping cart; cookies remember what product was added until the user checks out.

This information may include: (i) your IP address; (ii) domain server; (iii) type of computer; (iv) type of web browser; (v) access times; and (vi) referring web sites addresses (collectively “Traffic Data”).

In order for you to access certain portions of our Site and/or participate in certain online activities, we may require you to provide us with information that personally identifies you, such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address and home and/or business telephone numbers (“Personal Information”).
