IP Protocol Addresses/Web Logs
This site's web servers automatically collect the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and log files of visitors. Your IP address is an identifying number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

This information is collected in an aggregate form only and does not contain any PII. We use your IP address, and the IP addresses of all users, for purposes such as calculating site usage levels, helping diagnose problems with the site's servers, and administering the site. Collecting IP addresses is standard practice on the Internet and is done automatically by many websites. In addition to the Non-PII usage of IP Addresses described above we also may link your IP address to personally identifiable information for fraud prevention purposes.
PIXEL Tags
We and our service providers may also use so-called "pixel tags" "web beacons," "clear GIFs" or similar means (collectively "Pixel Tags") in connection with some site pages and HTML-formatted email messages to track your use of our Shop in order to provide you with more useful information and a more personalised experience the next time you visit. A Pixel Tag is an electronic image, often a single pixel (1x1), that is ordinarily not visible to site visitors and may be associated with cookies on the visitors' hard drives. Pixel Tags do not contain any (PII) and allow us to count users who have visited certain pages of the site, to deliver branded services, and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns..
