Automatically Collected Personal Information

In select instances, we have the potential to automatically accumulate information, which may not inherently pinpoint you as an individual.

  • Technical Data. Internet browsing's inherent nature passively and autonomously gathers and discloses specific details about an individual's internet usage. This data might be linked with an individual's Internet Protocol ("IP") address. This distinctive internet "identifier" is assigned to all internet users by their Internet Service Provider ("ISP"). Our server logs document statistical insights, encompassing visitors' IP addresses, operating system types, visit timeframes and durations, requested webpages, along with categorizing visitors based on identifiers like domains and browser types.
  • Our Website employs both "sessional" and "persistent" cookies or similar technologies. Web servers provide small text files to your computer to monitor browser configurations while navigating the site. Persistent cookies reside on your hard drive, whereas sessional cookies are stored in temporary (cache) memory and are eradicated upon browser closure or system shutdown. We utilize these cookies or akin technologies to store preferences, record session particulars such as language preferences, note user-specific data on accessed pages, cultivate insights into preferences and interests, alert you to potentially engaging areas upon your return, record past activities to enhance future service, regulate banner ad rotation to prevent repetitive displays, and tailor content grounded on browser type or other particulars you provide. For every visit to our Website, our server might leverage cookies or similar technologies to recognize you if you've expressed a preference for automatic login. Adjusting your browser settings can disable cookies; consult your browser's help section for guidance on disabling. Be aware that disabling cookies might limit some features of our Website's functionality.

Like many websites, we use Cookies on our Site. For specific information about the Cookies that we use related to powering our store with Shopify, see https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies. We use Cookies to power and improve our Site and our Services (including to remember your actions and preferences), to run analytics and better understand user interaction with the Services (in our legitimate interests to administer, improve and optimize the Services). We may also permit third parties and services providers to use Cookies on our Site to better tailor the services, products and advertising on our Site and other websites. Most browsers automatically accept Cookies by default, but you can choose to set your browser to remove or reject Cookies through your browser controls. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking Cookies can negatively impact your user experience and may cause some of the Services, including certain features and general functionality, to work incorrectly or no longer be available. Additionally, blocking Cookies may not completely prevent how we share information with third parties such as our advertising partners.

  • Interest-Based Advertising. Our Website additionally employs cookies and similar tools for personalized interest-based advertising intents. These tools and cookies could be installed either by us or our advertising affiliates. As you employ our Website, we amass details concerning your device, including (where applicable) your Internet, telecom, or mobile carrier, service provider, IP address, device ID, visit date and time, accessed webpage sections, and the URLs that directed you to our site. Opting out of third-party interest-based advertising may not halt these technologies from gathering data for alternative functions, like analytics. Consequently, you could still encounter internet-wide ads, albeit devoid of targeting according to your data, possibly rendering them less pertinent to your preferences. Interest-based advertising opt-outs function by preserving cookies in your browser, conveying your opt-out choice to diverse ad associates. Given that cookies are predominantly tied to specific browsers, your choice only impacts the browser where you've opted out. To avoid interest-based advertising, you must execute opt-outs within every browser that you prefer not to have interest-based advertising (this might encompass various devices if you employ more than one).
