You are always free to change you settings and decline our cookies if your browser allows that. In that case you will not be able to take advantage of certain features on the site. If you opt to disable cookies, you will be required to log in manually whenever you visit the site as we cannot use a cookie to remember who you are.

Clear Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs)
We and our third party affiliate program partner Shareasale employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that help us better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to our customers’ personally identifiable information.
