Cookies and Additional technologies

DesignIT CS's website, our online store and email messages and advertisements may use "cookies" and other technologies such as pixel tags and web beacons. These technologies help us better understand user behavior, tell us which parts of our websites people have visited, and facilitate and measure the effectiveness of advertisements and web searches. We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as non‑personal information. However, to the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we also treat these identifiers as personal information. Similarly, to the extent that non-personal information is combined with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

DesignIT CS and our partners also use cookies and other technologies to remember personal information when you use our website and our Web Store. Our goal in these cases is to make your experience with DesignIT CS more convenient and personal. For example, knowing your first name lets us welcome you the next time you visit the Widget Online store. Knowing your country and language − and if you are an educator, your school − helps us provide a customized and more useful shopping experience. Knowing someone using your computer or device has shopped for a certain product or used a particular service helps us make our advertising and email communications more relevant to your interests.

You can block or disable cookies in all modern web browsers and mobile devices. We recommend checking your specific software/hardware setup in order to disable and/or delete saved cookies properly.

As is true of most internet services, we gather some information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type and language, Internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit websites and applications, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

We use this information to understand and analyze trends, to administer the site, to learn about user behavior on the site, to improve our product and services, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. DesignIT CS may use this information in our marketing and advertising services.

In some of our email messages, we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the DesignIT Creative Services website. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click text or graphic links in the email messages.

Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in a format customers can read, and they tell us whether mail has been opened. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to customers.

List of 3rd Party Vendors/Partners/Services that are in Use on this website.
This is a primary list of 3rd party vendors and links to their Privacy Polices that are in use on this website in no particular order. These vendors allow for the purchase of widgets and/or communication to and with our customers.
