7. OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

UPDATES TO PRIVACY POLICY. Aubrey Coles may modify this Privacy Policy. Please look at the Effective Date at the top of this Privacy Policy to see when this Privacy Policy was last revised. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy on the Aubrey Coles website. Your use of the Aubrey Coles website or your provision of personal information to us following these changes means that you accept the revised Privacy Policy.

DO NOT TRACK DISCLOSURE. Some browsers or other tools include “Do Not Track” (DNT) features which, when turned on, send a signal to websites you visit indicating that you do not wish to be tracked across websites over time. The Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C) has been working with industry groups and regulators to develop a DNT browser technology standard to provide a common understanding as to how to interpret the DNT signals, but to date no standard has been adopted. Since there is no standard at this time, Aubrey Coles does not currently respond to DNT signals. Aubrey Coles will follow the progress of the W3C in developing the standard.

LOCATION OF DATA. Your Personal Information may be stored, transferred to, and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers, and by using our products and services, you consent to the processing and transfer of information to countries outside of your country of residence, including the United States, which may have different data protection rules than in your country.

DATA RETENTION. We will retain your Personal Information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or allowed by law.

COLLECTION OF PERSONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION BY A PAYMENT SERVICE. In some cases, we may use an unaffiliated payment service to allow you to purchase a product or make payments (“Payment Service”). If you wish to purchase a product or make a payment in such a case, you will be directed to a Payment Service webpage. Any information that you provide to a Payment Service will be subject to the applicable Payment Service’s privacy policy, rather than this Privacy Policy. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, any Payment Service’s use of information collected through any Payment Service.

LINKED SERVICES. The Aubrey Coles website may also be linked to sites operated by third parties, and may carry advertisements or offer content, special offers, functionality, games or applications developed and maintained by third parties. Some of these third party sites may be co-branded with a Aubrey Coles logo, even though they are not operated or maintained by us. For example:

Aubrey Coles is not responsible for the privacy practices of any such third parties, and once you leave the Aubrey Coles website or click an advertisement, or sign up for a special offer, you should check the applicable privacy policy of the other service.

2. WHAT COOKIES DO WE USE?

Below we list the different types of cookies we may use on the Site. We may also use cookies and similar tools to relate your use of the Site to personal information obtained about you. For example, if you have asked us to provide you information about our upcoming products or promotions, cookie and/or clickstream data about your activities on the Site may allow us to limit the materials we provide you to items we think you will find interesting, based on your prior online activities and preferences.

STRICTLY NECESSARY COOKIES.

These cookies are essential to the Site in order to facilitate our log-in process and enable you to move around it and to use its features. Without these cookies, we may not be able to provide certain services or features, and the Site will not perform as smoothly for you as we would like.

Functionality cookies allow us to remember the choices you make while browsing the Site, and to provide enhanced and more personalized content and features, such as customizing a certain webpage, remembering if we have asked you to participate in a promotion and for other services you request, like watching a video or commenting on a blog. In order to permit your connection to the Site, our servers receive and record information about your computer, device, and browser, potentially including your IP address, browser type, and other software or hardware information.

Flash cookies are stored on your device, but they are managed through an interface different from the one provided by your web browser.

ADVERTISING COOKIES.

We and our service providers may use advertising cookies to deliver ads that we believe are more relevant to you and your interests.
