We use cookies (small text files stored on your device) and similar tools to help the Site function and to improve your experience. For example, cookies may:
- Remember what’s in your cart while you browse other pages.

8) When we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information in the following situations:

10) Data security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
