3. Cookie Policy
The Sites may use cookies and similar technologies to improve user experience, for performance and analytics, provide tailored digital advertisements, and to customize and enhance our content, products, and services. A “cookie” is a small text file that a web server stores in browser software. A browser sends cookies to a server when the browser makes a connection to that server (for example, when requesting a web page from the same domain that created the cookie).
The general purpose of cookies is to remember a browser over time and distinguish one browser instance (or user) from all others. Some cookies and other technologies may track the personal information users provide when they interact with a site, and may store such personal information. We use first-party and third-party cookies to ensure that our Sites function properly, to understand how individuals use and engage with our Sites and to analyze and improve our Site. We may use third-party vendors, including Facebook and Google, who use first-party cookies and third-party cookies together to inform, optimize, and serve advertisements based on your past activity on the Sites. The information collected may be used to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, and better understand online activity.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to block or delete all cookies in your browser’s settings using the links provided below. Please note that if you block essential cookies, certain parts of the Site may not function properly.

5. Data Security and Retention
The privacy and security of your personal information is deeply important to us. To that end, we maintain technical, administrative and physical safeguards to help protect the security of your personal information against unauthorized access, destruction, loss, alteration, misuse or disclosure. Your personal information is accessible to only a limited number of personnel who need access to the information to perform their duties. Please note, however, that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
6. International Data Transfers
The Sites are operated from the United States and intended only for web visitors located in the United States. Any collection of personal information from individuals located outside the United States is unintentional and/or incidental. That said, it is possible that your personal information is transferred outside of your state, country, or other governmental jurisdiction in order for us to render the collection, use, and sharing practices disclosed elsewhere in this Privacy Policy. Those jurisdictions may have data protection rules that are different from those of your jurisdiction. If so, we will take measures to ensure that any such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and that your personal information remains protected to the standards described in this Privacy Policy. Personal information transferred to another country may be subject to lawful access requests by courts, law enforcement agencies, or other government authorities in those other countries.
7. Use by Children
Our Sites are not directed toward individuals under the age of 13 (“Children”). We do not knowingly collect personal information from Children, and no personal information should be submitted to our Sites by Children. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a Child, we will delete that personal information as permitted by law. You must be old enough to consent to the processing of your personal information in your country, and you must be at least 18 years of age to use the products and services advertised on the Sites. If you believe we may have any collected personal information from a child under the age of 13 without parental consent, please submit a written request via the email using the information provided below.
8. California and Nevada Residents
a. Your California Privacy Rights
California residents additionally have the right to request information regarding third parties to whom we have disclosed certain categories of personal information during the preceding year for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes under California’s “Shine the Light” Law. Personal information under this California law means any information that identified, described, or was able to be associated with an individual at the time of disclosure. If you are a California resident and would like to inquire further, please contact us. You must include your full name, email address and postal address in your email or mail request so that we can verify your California residence and respond.
b. Your Nevada Privacy Rights
Nevada residents have the right to request to opt out of any “sale” of their personal information under Nevada SB 220. You may request to opt out of the future sale of your personal information. If you are a Nevada resident and would like to make such a request, please contact us. You must include your full name, email address and postal address in your email or mail request so that we can verify your Nevada residence and respond. In the event we sell your personal information after the receipt of your request, we will make reasonable efforts to comply with such request.
