Information That is Automatically Collected We use third-party advertising consultants, service providers, and vendors to increase this website’s visibility, and we may collect personal and non-identifying information about your visits for the purpose of improving this website. For example, we may keep track of how you were directed to this website, how you navigate through the website, which products you browse, and which products you purchase. We may also collect data such as a visitor’s IP address, location data and device used. To accomplish this tracking, we use automatic technology such as cookies and search engine analytics. Personally-identifiable information is also automatically collected by our website. Our website uses cookies to help customize our website and retain your password so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit the website. Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our website. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. We set a persistent cookie to store your passwords, so you do not have to enter it more than once. Persistent cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website (such as products recently viewed). We do this through advertising tools such as Google Adwords and Adwords Remarketing. You can review Google’s Privacy Policy here. We also use cookies to help keep track of items you put in your shopping cart, including when you have abandoned your cart. This information is used to determine when to send cart reminder messages, including via SMS text message if you receive text messages from our Messaging Service. For more information on this, please see the section titled, “Messaging Services, Choices, and Controls,” below. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies.

For example, as described above we use advertising tools such as Google Adwords.

Kennedy Blue may analyze this information to better understand our web traffic.

To learn more about our advertising company’s use of clear gifs, please go to http://www.google.com/adwords/ We use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients.
