Controlling Cookies
 
As the means by which you can refuse Cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information. In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising.
 
Web Beacons
 
Certain sections of our Service and our emails may contain small electronic files like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels,” “clear gifs,” “pixel tags,” “single-pixel gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Service.  This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users, to deliver or communicate with Cookies, to improve site performance, and for other related website statistics. These technologies are reliant on Cookies to function properly, and so declining Cookies will impair their functioning.

11. CALIFORNIA “SHINE THE LIGHT” LAW

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits users who are California residents to request and obtain, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which your personal information was shared the immediate preceding calendar year. Section 1798.83(c)(1) states businesses with few than 20 full-time or part-time employees are exempt from this requirement. Because we have less than 20 full-time or part-time employees, we are exempt from these obligations. If a time arises in which we are not exempt, we will update this section.
 
12. UPDATES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time without advanced notice, and the most recent version will be found on our website. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes and the changes are effective when they are posted to the website.
