5. How We Respond to "Do Not Track" Signals:

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected.  At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized.  As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online.  If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.

6. Cookies:

To ensure the proper functioning of our Sites and services, we may occasionally place small data files known as cookies on your device. A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It allows the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, shopping cart contents, or other preferences) over a period of time, eliminating the need for you to re-enter them each time you visit the site or navigate between pages.

Google Analytics: We may utilize Google Analytics to enhance our Sites. The information obtained through Google Analytics is used solely for the purpose of improving our Sites. We do not merge the information gathered via Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. For more information, please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy. Additionally, you have the option to download the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

If you prefer to limit the use of cookies, please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain features on our Sites. Most modern browsers allow you to adjust your cookie settings. You can typically find these settings in the options or preferences menu of your browser. The following links, provided for commonly used browsers, may assist you in understanding these settings:

Cookie settings in Chrome Cookie settings in Firefox Cookie settings in Microsoft Edge Cookie settings in Safari web and iOS

Personalized Advertising: We may also utilize targeted advertising cookies, such as Google Ads, to deliver customized advertisements on our Sites and other websites you may visit. You can find more information on how to manage advertising cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link, the DAA’s Consumer Opt-Out link for browsers, or the DAA’s opt-out link for mobile devices. Please note that opting out may not completely eliminate advertisements from appearing in your browser or applications and may reduce their relevance to your interests.

Our Sites are intended for individuals who are at least 18 years old.

10. Data Security:

We employ a range of security measures to safeguard your personal information when you enter, submit, or access your Personal Data. However, it's important to recognize that no website, application, or data transmission method can offer absolute security. While we have implemented and continuously maintain what we consider to be suitable technical and organizational measures to preserve the confidentiality, security, and integrity of the personal information collected through our Sites, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information transmitted to us. We advise users to exercise caution and discretion when sharing personal information online. 

11. Data Retention:

We retain information from or about you for so long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. When the information is no longer necessary for these purposes, we delete it or keep it in a form that does not identify you, unless we are required by law to keep this information for a longer period. When determining the retention period, we take into account various criteria, such as the type of products and services requested by or provided to you, the nature and length of our relationship with you, possible re-enrollment with our products or services, the impact on the services we provide to you if we delete some information from or about you, mandatory retention periods provided by law and the statute of limitations.
