The Company may make use of “cookies” on the Site. Cookies are small text files that are stored on a user’s computer by a web server based on the permissions set in a user’s browser software. A cookie itself is not designed or intended to read any information from a user’s computer (other than the contents of the cookie); rather, it is an identifier used by the website that originally placed it on your hard drive. The actual contents of the cookie information can be retrieved by the same server to identify the computer and subsequently to customize, monitor, or regulate the use of a site based on information stored in the cookie and the host server. Therefore, cookies only identify the user’s computer to the website that may correlate other information, including personally identifiable information, with the cookie. Cookies allow the Company to automate access and data entry functions of the Site such as login information, correlate online ordering information for purchases, tailor the Site to your preferences or interests, or customize promotions or marketing, including advertisements on other web sites. In addition, cookies allow us to track usage of the Site to determine which areas are useful or popular and which are not, thereby enabling us to improve and update the Site effectively. You have the ability to accept or decline the use of cookies. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you may modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Site.

We may allow third parties, including business partners and ad networks, to display advertising on our Site. Some of these companies may place a cookie on your computer to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement. This enables them to understand where you, or others who are using your computer, saw their advertisement and deliver ads that they believe are of interest to you. We do not control these companies’ use of cookies.

The Company uses reasonable efforts to protect your personally identifiable information collected through the Site from access, loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction by any unauthorized party. We limit access to personally identifiable information to those who have a business need. We keep personally identifiable information only for a reasonably needed amount of time.
