Under some circumstances we may require some additional financial information. We use your financial information, including credit card information, for billing purposes. Such information is passed to the merchant processor and does not remain on our system.

We use data collection devices such as “cookies” on certain pages of our site to help analyze web page flow, measure promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and safety. “Cookies” are small files placed on your hard drive that assist in providing customized services.

Most cookies are “session cookies,” meaning that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of a session. You are free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although in that case you may not be able to use certain features on our site and may be required to reenter your password more frequently.
