These devices help us analyze our users’ online behavior and measure the effectiveness of our website and our marketing.

Device Identifiers
A “device identifier” is a mechanism whereby we may automatically collect an IP address, mobile advertising identifier or other unique user identifier information for the computer, mobile or other device being used to access the Website or third party websites to which we may link for advertising purposes. A device identifier attaches a number that is automatically assigned to your computer or device that identifies it, similar to a cookie. We may use the device identifier to administer the Website, help diagnose problems, analyze trends, track a user on the Website, identify a user shipping cart or purchase preferences, deliver advertising, or obtain general demographic data. Most computers and mobile devices will allow you to turn off, block or delete device identifiers.
