Cookies are small files that websites save to your hard disk or to your browser's memory.

If you choose not to accept cookies, you may not be able to experience all of the features of our website. Internet browsers also enable you to delete existing cookies, although this means that your existing settings (including stored user IDs and other preferences) will be lost.

Our website also may contain electronic images known as Web beacons—sometimes called single-pixel gifs—that allow us to count the number of users who have visited those pages.

 In connection with certain transactions, we may disclose some or all of the personal data you provide to financial institutions, government entities and shipping companies or postal services involved in fulfilling the transaction.

8.3.   Disclosures in connection with acquisitions or divestitures

Circumstances may arise where for strategic or other business reasons we decide to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize particular businesses. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal data to prospective or actual purchasers, or receiving it from sellers. Although it is our practice to seek protection for information in these types of transactions, we cannot guarantee that any entity receiving such data from us in connection with one of these transactions will comply with all of the terms of this Agreement.

8.4.   Disclosure on collaborative websites

Our website promotes collaboration among users with respect to a particular area or topic. We may share your username with other participants to label comments or suggestions that you make as yours.

8.5.   Disclosure for other reasons

We may disclose personal data if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal requirements or with legal process served on us, to protect and defend our rights or property, or in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of any individual.

9.      Security of personal data

We are committed to protecting the security of personal data. While no security measure can guarantee against compromise, we use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store the personal data you provide on computer systems with limited access that are located in facilities to which access is limited. When you move around a website to which you have logged in, or from one website to another that uses the same login mechanism, we verify your identity by means of an encrypted cookie placed on your machine. When you place an order with us, view account information, or provide financial information, we protect the transmission of such data using Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption.

It is your responsibility to ensure the security of your password and to not reveal this information to others. If you are sharing a computer with anyone, you should always log out before leaving a website so that subsequent users will not be able to access your data.
