We use this information to, for example, analyze trends, administer this Website, track users’ movements around this Website, and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

We may also use “cookies” and other user tracking devices (e.g., local shared objects), which are files or pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive, to collect information during your visit to this Website, such as the particular Website areas you visit and the products or services you utilize or buy through this Website. This is done so that we can provide a continuous and more personalized shopping experience for you (e.g., to recognize you by name when you return to this Website).

The DeWitt Companies’ web beacons may collect some contact information (for example, the email address associated with an email message that contains a web beacon).

Your selection of the “Do Not Track” option provided by your browser may not have any effect on our collection of cookie information for analytic and internal purposes.  The only way to completely opt out of the collection of any information through cookies or other tracking technology is to actively manage the settings on your browser or device to delete and disable cookies and other tracking/recording tools.  Please note, depending on your type of device or browser, it may not be possible to delete or disable all tracking mechanisms on your device.
