Please take a moment to read the following to learn more about our information practices, including what type of information is gathered on our Services, how the information is used and for what purposes, to whom we disclose the information, and how we safeguard your personal information.
Personal Information. FrozenRidge collects personal information only if you voluntarily choose to share such information with FrozenRidge. You may browse the Site without disclosing any personal information. However, in order for you to take advantage of particular opportunities provided through the Services, we may require that you furnish personal information. When you set up an account, sign up for newsletters or participate in surveys, FrozenRidge may collect personal information such as your name and email address. If you place an order on the Site, FrozenRidge may request and collect personal information such as your name, e-mail address, mailing address, telephone number, and credit card information.

FrozenRidge only uses this information for system administration and to help FrozenRidge develop ideas about how it might improve and optimize its Services.
Cookies and Other Technologies. Like many websites, we may use "cookies" to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. We may use cookies for two purposes. First, we may utilize persistent cookies to save your login information for future logins to the Site. Second, we may utilize session ID cookies to enable certain features of the Site, to better understand how you interact with the Site and to monitor aggregate usage by our users and web traffic routing on the Site. Unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are deleted from your computer when you log off from the Site and Services and then close your browser. Third party advertisers on the Site may also place or read cookies on your browser. You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions or all functionalities of the Services. We and our service providers may also use "pixel tags," "web beacons," "clear GIFs," or similar means in connection with Site pages and HTML-formatted e-mail messages to, among other things, track the actions of Site users and e-mail recipients, to determine the success of marketing campaigns and to compile aggregate statistics about Site usage and response rates. We may also engage one or more third party service providers to serve online advertisements on our behalf. They may use a "pixel tag" to collect anonymous information about your visits to this Site and to other websites, and they may use that information to target advertisements for goods and services. This information is collected anonymously, in a manner that does not personally identify you.
