This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you when you visit our websites and domains, including www.cowtan.com, or otherwise use our other products and services (collectively, the “Services”). This Privacy Policy also describes how we use the information we collect, with whom we share it, and the choices we offer you regarding our collection and use of such information.

Information We Collect

We may collect personal information about you, meaning information that can uniquely identify you, from various sources, such as:

• Directly from you when you use the Services, such as when you register for an account or otherwise access certain features or content on our website.
• Social networks through which you may access the Services or otherwise interact with us.

When you use the Services, we may also collect certain information by automated means, such as cookies and web beacons. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “web beacon,” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag, or clear GIF, is used to transmit information about actions of the user opening the page or email containing the beacon back to a web server. Certain features of the Services may use local shared objects (or Flash cookies) to collect and store information about your preferences and how you interact with the Services. We may also use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) that collect information about use of the Services and user traffic. The information we may collect by automated means may include, without limitation:

• Information about the devices you use to access the Services (such as the IP address and the type of the device, operating system, and web browser).
• Dates, times, and duration of use of the Services (including whether you are a repeat or first time visitor).

This information helps us to improve and personalize our Services, including by enabling us to identify and authenticate users.
