Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a web server may ask your web browser to store and to send back to the web server when needed. They allow you to take full advantage of the Pranapets® website, and, as such, we recommend that you leave them turned on. Cookies may be used to store a transaction identifier or other information a user may provide. We use cookies in the following ways: Complex transactions: Cookies are used to store and retrieve unique transaction identifiers or other server-generated or user-provided information in complex, multi-page web applications. This allows us to distinguish between different users, and to use information provided at one stage of an application at a later time (for instance, items placed in a 'shopping cart' might need to be displayed on a later 'check-out' screen). When we use cookies in this way, the cookie is stored on your web browser only temporarily; the cookie is destroyed at the end of the transaction or at the end of the browser session. Customized Services: Cookies may also be used to automatically identify a particular user to the system, in order to provide a customized service, such as a personalized web page. In this case, a cookie containing a unique user identifier will be permanently stored on your web browser. We do not store sensitive information in such cookies; only a unique user identifier or generic preference values are stored. Personal information you give us for processing a transaction or using one of our personalization features, may be stored on our secure web server. Personal information that you give us for processing a transaction or using one of our personalization features may be stored on our secure web server, retained only as long as necessary and properly disposed of. Pranapets® does not use cookies to keep a database of Personal Data about visitors, unless you choose to give such permission to us.
Website Traffic Analysis
We may automatically gather general statistical information about our website and visitors, such as, browsers, pages viewed, number of visitors, goods and services purchased, transactions completed, etc. To do this, we use action tags and cookies provided by our site analytics software and marketing partners. Although these partners log the information coming from our site on our behalf, we authorize how that data may and may not be used. As is true of most web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes date/time stamps, browser types, operating systems, internet protocol (IP) addresses, internet service providers (ISPs), referring/exit pages, and clickstream data. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, and to track user's movements around the site. We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information.
Advertising Networks
We may utilize third-party interest-based and remarketing pool advertising to promote our products. These third-party providers are solely responsible for storage and determination of fitness for use of data points associated with your browsing habits. We do not store any personally identifiable information about site visitors other than those involved in a transaction with us. Please be aware that you are not just opting out of Pranapets® advertising, but all advertising by using these tools.
