Our website also utilizes “cookies” to create a more customized experience for our users and customers. For example, we use tracking pixels (i.e. Google Analytics) to aid in measuring and tracking where our website traffic is coming from and to track the performance of our site.
Finally, we use remarketing pixels from Google to make special offers and continue to market our services to those who have visited our website, as well as to advertise to similar audiences online who may benefit from this information.

Through remarketing, third-party vendors, including Google, may show our ads on sites across the Internet, specifically on the Google Content Network. Third-party vendors, including Google, may also use cookies to serve ads based on your past visits to this website.

How do you get my consent?
When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, or ordering services, we assume you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.
If we ask you for personal information for a secondary reason, like requesting newsletter subscriptions or other marketing communications, we will either ask you directly for your consent or provide you with an opportunity to say no. Saying no is called “opting out”. By opting out, you can tell us not to collect the information and/or not to share it with other companies.
