What about cookies and other technologies?

We use cookies and other technologies to passively collect

demographic information, personalize your experience on our site

and monitor advertisements and other activities. Cookies are small

files downloaded to your computer to track movements within web

sites. Certain areas of our site use cookies to keep track of your

shopping cart and, where possible ads may be concerned, may make

Other technologies used include clear GIFs and IP address logging.

Clear GIFs (a.k.a. web bugs, beacons or tags) are small graphic

images placed on a web page, web-based document, or in an e-mail

message. Clear GIFs are invisible to the user because they are

typically very small (only 1-by-1 pixel) and the same color as the

background of the web page, document or e-mail message. We do

not use clear GIFs to collect personal information about you.

However, we may use clear GIFs to capture statistical usage

information for our web pages, features or other elements on a web

page. We may correlate this information to a user to personalize user

experience and for statistical analysis of user experiences on our web

pages.

Protocol ("IP") addresses. An IP address is a numeric address that is

assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider. In

general, we only use log files to monitor traffic on our Web sites, to

report aggregate information to our advertisers and to troubleshoot

technical problems. In the event of user abuse of our websites,

however, we may block certain IP addresses or console IDs provided

by our licensed hardware manufacturers. IP addresses and console

IDs may be linked to personal information.

products or services that we believe may be of interest to you. In this

event and at our discretion, Ricky Tims Quilts may send an email

We may use survey information in marketing surveys to select and

direct advertising that is more likely to be of interest to a particular

member. This information may be transmitted to an ad server owned

by the advertising company to match members with ads that they are

more likely to be interested in. However, we do not disclose any

member's personal information to our advertisers without the
