What are “cookies” and “action tags” and how are they utilized?
A “cookie” is a file stored on your computer by a website which identifies you by a particular identification code. This cookie allows us to know that you are a customer and retains information about your use of our website. It also allows us to make certain features available to you. If you wish to stop the use of cookies, you can do so through the Help Menu on the toolbar of most web browsers. However, the cookies allow you to take full advantage of all features on the website.

The website may also use web-based technology called “Action Tags” which are also referred to as web beacons or single pixel gifs. These Action Tags will anonymously track purchase usage and/or other web activity. Such Action Tags will sometimes be utilized by us or third parties to provide data for the purpose of tracking. In no event does the Action Tags collect or transfer personal information.

On occasion our website may carry advertisements from unrelated third parties. Some advertisements will be personalized to the online activities expressed by such user. You may opt out of receiving such advertising. Such opting out once again relies upon an opt out Cookie. Therefore, if you delete Cookies, you will have to repeat the process of opting out. This also applies should you use a different computer. You may opt out by going to our website/newsletter clicking on the help menu and then clicking on the “unsubscribe from e-mail promotions” and then enter your e-mail address and click the submit button. Please remember if you opt out, you may still receive advertisements but they will not be delivered based upon the behavior data that is in the possession of the opted out companies.

You may opt out by going to our website clicking on the help menu and then clicking on the “unsubscribe from e-mail promotions” and then enter your e-mail address and click the submit button.
