8. COOKIES POLICY
What Are Cookies?
I may collect information using “cookies.” Cookies are small data files stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device when you visit any website. I may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer or mobile device until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on this Site.
I use two broad categories of cookies: (1) first party cookies, served directly by the Content Management System (CMS) used on this Site to manage and publish our Content. The CMS uploads a cookie to your computer or mobile device, which is used only by the CMS to recognize your computer or mobile device when you revisit this Site; and (2) third-party cookies, which are served by service providers on this Site, and can be used by such service providers to recognize your computer or mobile device when you visit their website.
I use cookies on our website to personalize content, enable the proper operation of a shopping cart, to provide a safer experience, tailor and measure our internal ads, and collect anonymous visitor statistics using Google Analytics.
IMPORTANT: If you click a link to Amazon.com or any other third-party website, the website you visit will require that you allow them to add cookies to your browser. Cookies allow you to use a membership portal, view a product catalog, watch videos, download digital files and purchase any products or services. This is how commerce and the exchange of ideas works on the internet.
Commonsense will tell you that if you want to communicate privately with someone, you are required to share your personal data. If you are purchasing any products or services you are required to share your financial information. The use of impersonal cookies, that collects anonymous data about your device and your actions, is also important to deliver a quality experience, provide high level of security and data protection and to complete your transaction. The real issue is, can you trust the owner(s) of any website to use and protect your personal data with absolute confidentiality, integrity and maximum security? I personal go way beyond what is required by U.S. and EU laws to protect your personal privacy.
