5. Do we use "cookies"? 

Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enable the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.

For instance, we use cookies to identify you when you log in and help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart. These technical cookies are vital for the proper function of our online store and they cannot be switched off. These cookies will remain in your browser for one (1) month unless you remove them from your browser settings. Whenever you visit our site again these cookies will activate.

We also use cookies to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. For personalizing your site experience a third-party cookie is installed in your browser. 

Statistical cookies (e.g. Google Analytics) help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future. The information used in the analysis is anonymous whenever possible. Otherwise, we will handle the information as personal data for as long as it contains client targeting information, such as an IP address. Also, any data that can be linked to a certain customer in some way are treated as personal information.

We may contract third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser (like Chrome) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won't have access to many features that make your site experience more efficient and some of our services will not function properly.
