Cookies, Beacons and Analytics

When you interact with our Site, I strive to make your experience easy and meaningful. My chosen Site technology, or those of third-party service providers, use cookies, web beacons (clear GIFs, web bugs) and similar technologies to track user activity and collect site data. I may combine this data with the Personal Information I have collected from you.

Cookies.

I (including my chosen third-party service providers) use cookies to track visitor activity on the Site. A cookie is a text file that a website transfers to your computer’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Our cookies assign a random, unique number to each visitor’s computer. They do not contain information that would personally identify the visitor, although we can associate a cookie with any identifying information that is or has been provided us while visiting our Site. We use cookies that remain on your computer for a specified period of time or until they are deleted (persistent cookies). We may also use cookies that exist only temporarily during an online session (session cookies) – these cookies allow us to identify you temporarily as you move through the Site. Most browsers allow users to refuse cookies but doing so may impede the functionality of some portions of our Site.

Web Beacons.

Web beacons are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, that are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, Web beacons are embedded invisibly on webpages and may not be disabled or controlled through your browser.

Third Parties.

As noted, I may also engage third parties to track and analyze Site activity on our behalf. To do so, these third parties may place cookies or web beacons to track user activity on our Site. I use the data collected by such third parties to administer and improve the quality of the Site, analyze usage of the Site, and provide a more enhanced user experience on the Site, such as personalizing and delivering relevant offers and content based on user activity on the Site. I do not provide these third parties with your Personal Information.

I am not responsible for the privacy of any information that you choose to post to the Site, or for the accuracy of any information contained in those postings. I cannot prevent such information from being used by others in a manner that may violate this Privacy Policy, the law, or your personal privacy. Your posting of any content to any of the Site is subject to our Terms of Use.

Third-Party Links

The Site contains links to other, third-party websites. Any access to and use of such linked websites is not governed by this Privacy Policy, but, instead, is governed by the privacy policies of those third-party websites. I am not responsible for the information practices of such third-party websites.

Email Policy

I may use your email address to communicate with you about orders you have placed, inquiries you have made about our products and services, or information you have shared with me through the Site or email.

Example include, but are not limited to, my blog, a newsletter, information about special offers, photographs, videos, lessons, tours, or other products or offerings.

If, at any time, you would like to stop receiving these promotional e-mails, you may follow the opt-out instructions contained in any such e-mail.
