COOKIES AND INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING

Tracking tools we use. We and our service providers collect information about users over time and across different websites and devices through the use of tracking tools including cookies, web beacons, device identifiers and other online information-gathering tools (collectively, "cookies"). While the cookies that we use may change from time to time, we use cookies for the same purposes, including:

  • To authenticate your account and store your password if you are a registered account holder;
  • To monitor performance of our Services;
  • To learn more about the way you interact with our content;
  • To personalize your experience on our Sites, Apps and Social Media Services;
  • To optimize and tailor our Sites and Apps;
  • To make product recommendations and provide you with advertising content on our Services and elsewhere in which we think you will be interested;
  • To measure the effectiveness of personalized ads;
  • To pursue analytics and research to help us improve our Services and product offerings;
  • To better understand our Site visitors and App users and their respective interests, including by learning about your online activities across devices.

Interest based advertising. We and our service providers use cookies to learn about what ads you see, what ads you click, and other actions you take on our Sites, Apps and other sites. This allows us to provide you with more useful and relevant ads on both RF-owned and operated sites and unaffiliated sites. Interest-based ads, also sometimes referred to as personalized or targeted ads, are displayed to you based on information from activities such as purchasing on our Sites or Apps, visiting sites that contain our content or ads, interacting with our tools or using our payment services. In providing interest-based ads, we follow the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising developed by the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) (a coalition of marketing, online advertising, and consumer advocacy organizations). See "Advertising Preferences and Opt-out" below to opt-out of such advertising.

Third party advertising management partners may help us display tailored content to our customers' interests and serve interest-based advertising on our behalf. We do not provide any personal information to advertisers or to third party sites that display our interest-based ads. However, advertisers and other third-parties (including the ad networks, ad-serving companies, and other service providers they may use) may collect information through cookies about your browsing activity on our website to display interest based ads. Also, some third-parties may provide us information about you (such as the sites where you have been shown ads or demographic information) from offline and online sources that we may use to provide you more relevant and useful advertising.

Advertisers or ad companies working on their behalf sometimes use technology to serve the ads that appear on our sites directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use cookies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize ad content. We do not have access to or control over cookies or other features that advertisers and third- party sites may use, and the information practices of these advertisers and third-party websites are not covered by our Privacy Policy. Please contact them directly for more information about their privacy practices.

If you opt-out of marketing communications, you will continue to receive transactional communications, such as e-mail or text notifications about your order status, recall information and other administrative information.
