Information we Collect Automatically

Company, our service providers or our third party partners may automatically collect information from you when you visit our Website and use our Services through cookies and other tracking technologies. Use of such technologies include gatherings from users of the Website Non-Personally Identifiable Information of the sort that web browsers, depending on their settings, may make available. That information includes the user’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system and browser type, and the locations of the web pages the user views right before arriving at, while navigating and immediately after leaving the Website. Company analyzes Non-Personally Identifiable Information gathered from users of the Website to help Company better understand how the Website is being used.

Some of the technologies we use to collect such information are further described below:

Web Cookies

A “Web Cookie” is a string of information that a website stores on a user’s computer, and that the user’s browser provides to the website each time the user submits a query to the site. Company uses Web Cookies to track the pages that users visit during each Website session, both to help Company improve users’ experiences and to help Company understand how the Website is being used. As with other Non-Personally Identifiable Information gathered from users of the Website, Company analyzes and discloses in aggregated form information gathered using Web Cookies, so as to help Company, its partners and others better understand how the Website is being used.

Please see our Cookie Policy for more information on how CreedBoutique.com uses cookies.

Web Beacons

A “Web Beacon” is an object that is embedded in a web page that is usually invisible to the user and allows website operators to check whether a user has viewed a particular web page or an email. Company may use Web Beacons on the Website and in emails to count users who have visited particular pages and/or viewed emails, and to deliver co-branded services. Web Beacons are not used to access users’ Personally Identifiable Information; they are a tool Company may use to compile aggregated statistics about Website usage. Web Beacons collect only a limited set of information, including a Web Cookie number, time and date of a page or email view, and a description of the page or email on which the Web Beacon resides. You may not decline Web Beacons; however, Web Beacons can be rendered ineffective by declining all Web Cookies or modifying your browser setting to notify you each time a Web Cookie is tendered and permit you to accept or decline Web Cookies on an individual basis.

Clickstream

As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left at each website you visit.  This information, which is sometimes referred to as "clickstream data," can be collected and stored by a website's server.  Clickstream data can tell us the type of computer and browsing software you use and the address of the website from which you linked to the Website.  We may collect and use clickstream data as a form of aggregate information to anonymously determine how much time visitors spend on each page of our Website, how visitors navigate throughout the Website and how we may tailor our web pages to better meet the needs of visitors.  This information will be used to improve our Website and our Services.

  • Site Analytics 

We may work with third-party service providers who use the technologies described in this section to conduct website analytics to help us track and understand how visitors use our Website.  One such provider is Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to help analyze how users use the Website. The information generated by the cookie about your use (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Website, compiling reports on activity for its staff and providing other services relating to web page activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. By using the Website and accepting cookies, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above. Please refer to the Google Analytics’ currently available opt-outs for the web, found at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.

Information we Collect from Other Sources

To be clear, whether you are opting out by adjusting your browser/device settings or an online industry opt-out, these cookie-based opt-outs must be performed on each device and browser that you wish to have opted-out. For example, if you have opted out on your computer browser, that opt-out will not be effective on your mobile device. You must separately opt out on each device, to the extent technologically possible.

For targeted advertisements delivered through mobile apps, you can install the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (DAA) AppChoices app on your device to opt-out of targeted advertising by certain providers and can also select a system level advertising preference feature on your device (such as “Limit Ad Tracking” on Apple devices or “Opt-out of Interest-based ads” on Android devices).
