Our website uses cookies, pixels, and other tracking technologies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us and our partners (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) (“we”, “us”) to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site, including by measuring the site usage, provide personalized shopping experience, and deliver personalized advertising from us and our partners.
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive. It allows us to recognize your computer upon entering our site, even if you are not logged into the site. When you visit our site, you can surf anonymously and access important information without revealing your identity by changing your browser settings. However, in order to provide better service, provide a personalized shopping experience, and advertising that is relevant to you, we may use cookies to track your visit. If you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies) you may not be able to access all or parts of our site.
Pixels (also known as pixels tags or clear GIFs) are transparent graphic images placed on a website. We typically use pixels in combination with cookies to measure the actions of our website visitors. For example, we may use pixels to track how many of our users are visiting our website because they clicked on our advertisement on one of our partner’s websites (and whether such a visit led to a purchase). This is to allow us to attribute such successful conversions to our advertising partners. We may also use pixels to create a custom audience together with our advertising partners, so we can provide targeted ads on their networks.
For ease of reference, we will call all tracking technologies ‘cookies’ going forward.
