When you visit a Spa Dent Website, our web servers may automatically log information that your browser sends us. For example, we may receive and collect: the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet; the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer you are using; the date and time you access the Spa Dent Website; and the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to the Spa Dent Website. We may also collect information regarding search queries run on the Spa Dent Website. We use this information to monitor the usage of the Spa Dent Websites and as necessary for our business.
Like many online retailers, we and/or our third party providers use cookies to recognize you as you use or return to the Spa Dent Websites. This is done so that we can personalize and enhance your browsing and shopping experience. "Cookies" are small files that we place on your computer's hard drive to collect information about your activities on a Spa Dent Website. Cookies help us to: (1) speed navigation, keep track of items in your shopping bag and provide you with content that is tailored to you; (2) remember information you gave us so that you do not have to re-enter it; (3) determine the effectiveness of some of our and our third party partners' marketing efforts and communications; and (4) monitor the total number of visitors, pages viewed, and the total number of banners displayed.
Browsers are typically set to create cookies automatically. You can choose to have your browser notify you when cookies are being written to your computer or accessed, or you can disable cookies entirely. If you disable cookies, however, you will not be able to place items in a Spa Dent Website shopping bag, and therefore you will not be able to place an order with us online. Also, by not using cookies, some Spa Dent Website features and services may not function properly.
We may use sensing technologies that use pixel tags or clear GIFs (which are also called web beacons). These technologies allow us to determine the effectiveness of our e-mail and advertising and marketing efforts. For this purpose, we tie the pixel tags and clear gifs to personally identifiable information. We may also collect information regarding the links within such marketing materials that you click on and purchase statistics regarding items you buy following receipt of such marketing.
We work with third party service providers, including but not limited to Google Analytics, to help us better understand how you use the Spa Dent Websites. These third party service providers will place cookies on your computer to collect information such as how you were referred to the Spa Dent Website, how you navigate around the Spa Dent Website, what you purchase and what traffic is driven by various marketing methods. This information will help us to better serve you and provide you with more personalized information and product offerings. We do not allow third party service providers to collect your credit card information, e-mail address or password information. These third party service providers may only use your personal information to perform services for us and may not share your personal information with anyone else, or use it for any other purpose, except on an aggregated, non-personally identifiable basis.
To learn more about the privacy practices of Google, you may review its privacy policy located at www.google.com. To disable the Google Analytics cookie and other third party web analytics service provider cookies, you can choose to have your browser notify you when cookies are being written to your computer or accessed, or you can disable cookies entirely.
We may partner with third party advertising networks that collect IP addresses, unique device identifiers (UDIDs), browser type, operating system, time zone, country, referring pages, and other information through the use of cookies, web server logs and pixel tags on Spa Dent Websites, Apps, emails and on third party websites and emails. They use this information to provide you with advertisements that are customized to your particular preferences, including for companies that are not affiliated with us. You may see these advertisements on Spa Dent Websites and third party websites. We may use this process to help us manage and improve the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. If you would like to learn more about the third party advertisers that may be aware of the fact that you visit Spa Dent Websites, and to understand your opt-out choices, please click here.

We may provide you the ability to sign into a Spa Dent Website or App using a social networking account such as a Facebook, Twitter or Google account, or use your social networking accounts to share information from Spa Dent Websites, Devices or Apps. In these cases, as well as when you use a Spa Dent app on a social networking site or choose to join (or "like") a Spa Dent page on a social networking site, the social networking site may provide us with certain information about you, including but not limited to your contacts and other "likes". Please see the privacy policy for the applicable social networking site to learn more about how these sites share your personal information.
We may collect personal information and other information about you from business partners, contractors and other third parties.
