As We promote Our products/services, it’s important for Us to better understand statistics about how many of the visitors of the Company Website or other Company Programs actually make a purchase or which Company products/services the Users viewed the most and, thus, these are additional types of data that these cookies will track. We consider this to be important to You as it means that We can accurately make business predictions that allow Us to monitor Our advertising and product/service costs to ensure the best possible services to all of the Users. Certain of Our Advertising Networks (as defined in Section 3 of this Policy) may advertise on Our behalf and affiliate tracking cookies allow Us to see if Our customers have come to the Company Website or other Company Programs through one of these Advertising Network sites or sources. As noted in Section 3 of this Privacy Policy, We also use social media buttons and/or plugins on this Company Website or other Company Programs that allow You to connect with Your social network in various ways.
