Who we share your information with

Sometimes we use third party companies to help us target advertising or to market or remarket products you were interested in from our websites. In those instances, we share your information with them to target advertising, deliver products, assist us in collecting and managing customer information, fulfill promotions and/orders and/or communicate with you.

Some of these companies are given access to some or all of the information you provide us, and some may use cookies or other tracking technologies on our behalf. These companies are restricted from using your information in any manner other than in helping us to target advertising or to deliver or provide you with our products.

We use targeted advertising services provided by adroll, whose privacy notice may be found at www.adroll.com/about/privacy, and by criteo, whose privacy notice may be found at www.criteo.com/privacy/. both services are intended to deliver advertisements that you are likely to be interested in, based on your recent browsing. those services use technical means such as cookies and pixel tags to collect data as described in their privacy notices in order to help provide ads that are more relevant to you.

You may opt out of receiving targeted ads served by those services as described in section 5 of adroll’s privacy notice and the “user choices” section of criteo’s privacy notice.

Adroll responds to “do not track” (dnt) signals sent from your browser.
