Cookies, Web Beacons and Other Technologies
Like most Sites we use “cookies” which are small amounts of data that often include an anonymous unique identifier, which are stored on your computer and allow Sites to remember information about users. Cookies allow us to personalize your return visits to our Sites and to save you time during certain activities, such as checking out from our online store.
