Cookies

 

A cookie is a small data file that certain Websites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you've visited. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside the assigning site. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. This random number lets us keep track of "how many'' times customers are doing specific things - like visiting our site each month - without really knowing who those customers are. We also use cookies to keep track of your shopping history and to make sure you don't see the same ad repeatedly. We use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests and to save your username and password. Additionally, after you've entered your Member username and password during a session on our service, we save that information so you don't have to reenter it repeatedly in the future.


Users should be aware that MerchBooth.com cannot control the use of cookies or the resulting information by advertisers or third parties hosting data for MerchBooth.com. If a user does not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the user to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, users should note that cookies may be necessary to provide the user with certain features (e.g., customized delivery of information available at MerchBooth.com.com and any micro-sites).

 

Surveys


From time to time MerchBooth.com may ask you to fill out a survey – the purpose of any survey is for us to get to know you better so we can deliver you the best possible experience. Our online surveys may ask you for demographic information, as well as the types of things you like and dislike as it relates to our service. Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site. We use this data to tailor our visitors' experience at our site, showing them content and promotional offers that we think they might be interested in, and displaying the content according to their preferences. This information is shared with advertisers only on an aggregate basis. We may use contact data from our surveys to send the user information about our company and promotional material from MerchBooth.com or some of our partners. Users can always opt out of receiving future mailings by visiting your account settings or selecting “unsubscribe” at the bottom of any e-mail communication sent to you by MerchBooth.com.com.


Promotions / Giveaways


From time to time we run promotions, Giveaways, and other similar types of incentives – for these purposes we will associate your activity with your unique username and account information. We use contact data from our promotions to send users information about upcoming contests and promotional offers. On occasion we will email customers promotional material from some of our partners. The customer's contact information is also used to contact the visitor when necessary for purposes of redeeming a promotion and giveaway. The majority of the promotions that we offer are hosted on MerchBooth.com.com or one of our micro-sites; however, there may be cases in which a third party sponsor will host the contest and collect user information. In those cases, we urge users to review the privacy statement of the third party site. Users can always opt out of receiving future mailings by visiting your account settings or selecting “unsubscribe” at the bottom of any e-mail communication sent to you by MerchBooth.com.
