The Company may also collect non-personally identifiable information from users via "cookies:"
A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other Web sites. Cookies do not damage your system. We use cookies to identify which areas of our Network of Websites you have visited or customized so the next time you visit; those pages may be readily accessible. Such information may be used to track site trends and enhance the user experience, and may be shared with third parties.
To the extent third parties may place advertising on the Websites, such third parties may utilize cookies or other technological means within the advertising to collect and utilize non-personally identifiable information. The Company and its advertisers are not responsible for information collected by third parties in this manner, nor for the collection or use of information by other sites to which the Websites are linked.
How We Use the Information We Collect
The information we collect is used to communicate with you about your product orders, improve the content of our Websites, used to customize the content and/or layout of our page for each individual visitor, used by us to contact consumers for marketing purposes, disclosed when legally required to do so, at the request of governmental authorities conducting an investigation, to verify or enforce compliance with the policies governing our Websites and applicable laws or to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our Websites. The information we collect is not sold or disclosed to any third party.
Additionally, every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers that serve as that computer's "Internet Protocol" IP address. When a visitor requests a page from any of the Websites, our Web servers automatically recognize that visitor's domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address from where you have accessed our site. We use this information to examine our traffic in aggregate and to investigate misuse of the Company's network, its users, or to cooperate with law enforcement. We do not collect and evaluate this information for specific individuals. Our Web servers do not record e-mail addresses of the visitors.

If you visit one of these sites, you may want to review the privacy policy on that site. For example, you may have linked to one of the Company's Websites through a banner advertisement on another site. In such cases the site you have linked from may collect information from people who click on the banner or link. You may want to refer to the privacy policies on those sites to see how they collect and use this information.
