Use of Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer for record-keeping purposes. This information is stored in a file on your computer. We use first-party cookies for a variety of reasons to make possible and enhance the Website’s features and capabilities, such as customizing a user’s experience so that they only receive a certain promotion for a period of time.
You can delete your cookie file at any time. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some aspects of the Website may not function properly if you refuse cookies.
Third Party Links
You should be aware that when you are on our Website you could hyperlink or be directed to other websites that are beyond our control and/or outside our service. We do not control such websites, and, therefore, are not responsible for their contents or the hyperlinks or advertising they choose to place on such websites. Our inclusion of hyperlinks to these websites does not imply any endorsement of the material on such websites or any association with their operators. Our privacy policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, which is beyond our control.
Please keep in mind that whenever you give out information online (for example, via message boards or chat) that information can be collected and used by people you don’t know. While we strive to protect your information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online, and you disclose such information at your own risk.
