  Cookie technology helps us deliver content tailored to a visitor’s interests, and allows us to make ordering products, entering and participating in sweepstakes and contests, and offering other functions at our Site easier for our visitors. Sites that offer online shopping use cookies to remember and process the items in your shopping cart.

8. THIRD PARTY ADVERTISING PARTNERS AND INTEREST-BASED ADS
  We may engage third parties to serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons and other automatic collection technologies to collect information about you when you visit our websites for purposes of determining your preferences and delivering interest-based advertising and content on our websites and other third party websites. In addition to the information about your visits to our websites, these third parties may also use the information about your visits to other websites to serve you interest-based ads about our products and services.
  We do not provide any PII to these third party advertising partners, but they may combine this information with PII they collect directly from you or receive from other sources. We do not have access to or control over the automatic collection technologies that these third party advertisers or any third party websites may use, and the information practices of these third party advertisers and third party websites are subject to these parties' respective privacy policies, not this Privacy Statement.
  You may want to receive interest-based ads for several reasons. Interest-based ads are helpful because they are more likely to be tailored to your particular interests. They are also more likely to help you discover new products and services that are actually relevant to you and your interests. Also if interest-based tracking is enabled, you likely will not see the same ads over and over because the number of times you see a particular interest-based ad is usually limited. By opting-out of interest-based ads, you lose all of these benefits. If you would still like more information about opting-out of interest-based ads or would like to opt-out, see the Choices about How We Use and Disclose Your Information section or visit the opt-out pages of theNetwork Advertising Initiative ("NAI") andDigital Advertising Alliance ("DAA"). We follow the DAA's Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising.
