Cookies, Click-Trough’s and Pixel Tags
Like many websites, "cookies" are used to enable our site's or service provider's systems to recognize your internet browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services.

In some of our email messages we use a “click-through” URL link to content on the website. When customers click one of these URL’s, they pass through our web servers before arriving at the destination. We may track this click-through data to help us measure interest in methods customers prefer to retrieve information and messages. If you prefer not to be tracked simply avoid clicking text or graphic links in the email.
We may use pixel tags, which are tiny graphic images; to tell us what parts of our website customers have visited.
