Below is a breakdown of the types of data we may collect from you, depending on the actions you take on our Sites:


Personal Information You Provide: When you make purchases on our Sites, leave product ratings or reviews, or participate in surveys or contests, we collect personal details you share, such as your name, email address, shipping address, and payment information. Participation in these activities is entirely voluntary, and you have the option to withhold personal information by choosing not to engage in such activities.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies


We use cookies and other tracking technologies on our Sites to enhance user experience. Here's how we use them:


Cookies Defined: A cookie is a small file placed on your computer to store information about your interactions with our website. We use both session cookies and persistent cookies to make your experience more convenient and personalized.


Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are used to improve navigation within the site during a particular session. For instance, they store session-specific data like which web pages you've visited, and your login credentials (if applicable), so you don't have to re-enter them each time you navigate through the site. Session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser.

   

Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a longer period, even after you close your browser. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits, enabling us to provide a more tailored experience. Persistent cookies help us track user behavior over time and across different sessions, so we can better understand your interests and improve your experience on the site.


Managing Cookies: While you can still browse the site if you reject cookies, your experience may be less seamless. Some features might not work as intended, and you may need to manually input some data, like your login credentials, each time you visit. If you wish to remove persistent cookies, you can do so by following the instructions in your browser's help file.


By using our Sites, you consent to our use of cookies and similar tracking technologies.
