Online Identification Tools
Like many website providers, we use your IP address to deliver the Service, to help diagnose problems with our server and provide a better web experience. Your IP address is used to help identify you and your shopping cart.
We use web beacons (a.k.a. clear GIFs, web bugs or pixel tags) to personalize your experience of the Service and to generate information about Service traffic and trends. Web beacons collect information such as the type of browser that you use and your IP address. Web beacons may be used alone or in conjunction with cookies. Web beacons are not usually visible to you.

Your web browser is usually set up to initially accept cookies. If you set your browser to reject cookies, the Service will not be able to recognize your account or to personalize the content that you see. We do not and cannot use cookies to gather other information that may be stored on your hard drive.
