“Do Not Track” Signals: Because there’s not yet a consensus on how companies should respond to web browser-based or other “do not track” mechanisms yet, we do not respond to web browser-based do not track signals.
Cookies: “Cookies” are small bits of electronic information that a website sends to a visitor’s browser and are stored on the visitor’s hard drive. Like many services, we employ cookies in certain areas of the Service to allow us to provide information to make your online experience more convenient and to enhance your experience with the Service.
For example, when you return to the Service after adding items to a shopping cart, cookies provide information so that the Service will remember those items for you. Cookies are not spyware or adware, and can’t deliver viruses or run programs on your computer. You may configure your web browsers to accept or reject or delete the cookies, or notify the user when a cookie is being set. If you do that, however, the Service may not function as expected or may not function at all.
