Information We Collect Through Cookies and Other Technologies. A cookie is a small file that resides on your computer, mobile phone, or other device, and allows us or our business partners to recognize your device when you return to our Service and record information about your usage of our Services.
We use cookies for five general purposes as follows:
Essential Operations: Cookies are necessary to allow us to operate our Services. For example, they are required to help you access secure areas (such as your account pages) and to use features like our shopping basket.
Performance and Functionality: Cookies help us enhance the performance and functionality of our Services. For example, cookies help us identify you or your device when you come back to our Service so that you do not have to login to see your admin control panel.
Analytics and Customization: We use analytics and customization cookies, including third party cookies, to gather information on how our Services are being used by our visitors and to measure how popular our marketing campaigns are. We use the data we get to help customize our Services for you and make the content you see as relevant as possible. We also use the date we collect to help identify and prevent fraud, and to track visits from our affiliates or partners. From time to time, we may use cookies to track whether your account is accessed by multiple businesses or members in violation of our membership rules, terms and conditions.

You are always free to decline cookies if your browser permits; although, by declining the use of cookies you may not be able to use certain features on, and significant portions of, our Site. Also, because information we or third parties obtain may be combined, we or third parties may still be able to identify your web browser, computer or mobile device when you access our Services even if you disable cookies. Some browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that, when turned on, signals to websites and online services that you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not yet an accepted standard for how to respond to browser DNT signals, we do not currently respond to them. Certain third party companies who may utilize cookies or other technologies on our Services enable you to opt out of behavioral advertising (which often uses cookies) as described below under Information that We May Share with Others. For more information about the use of cookies and how to block them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org ,www.youronlinechoices.eu (Europe) or www.aboutads.info/choices/ (United States).
We may use, or permit our business partners to use, other technologies similar to cookies for the same purposes as we use cookies, for example:
Tracking Images: We may use tracking images (such as GIFs), which are small image files that we embed into our e-mail newsletters, if any, to learn whether you opened or forwarded the newsletter or clicked on any of the content. This information tells us about our newsletters’ effectiveness and helps us ensure that we’re delivering information that you find interesting.
