Cookies

As you use our Website and galleries some information can be “passively” collected using various technologies (including mobile devices), such as cookies, web beacons and navigational and location data collection (clickstream, log files, server logs). A “cookie” is a small text file that is placed onto an Internet user’s web browser or device and is used to remember and/or obtain information about the user. A “web beacon” is a small object or image that is embedded into a web page, application, or email and is used to track activity. Your Internet browser automatically transmits some of this information, such as the URL of the website you just visited and the Internet Protocol (IP) address and browser version currently being used by your computer. Keep in mind that most mobile devices allow you to control or disable the use of location services by any application on your mobile device in the device’s settings menu. Such technologies help us to keep track of your interactions with our Website, the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions you take, within our advertising, email or newsletter content, to provide you with a more customized shopping experience. If you do not wish to have cookies placed on your computer, you should set your browser to refuse cookies before using our Website, with the drawback that certain features may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
