Privacy Policy
Personal information
You may browse the company’s website without providing any personal information. However, in order to access certain options, offers, or services on our site, you will be asked to provide relevant personal information, such as contact information for enrollment in a program or information about the service you are seeking. You always have the option of unsubscribing from our programs at any time. Occasionally, we may invite you to participate in a survey or poll about our site content, services, or products. Your responses will be anonymous, unless you choose to provide your contact details so that we can provide you with additional information regarding the survey or poll.
Sharing your information
Consistent with applicable laws and requirements, the personal information that you provide to us through this website may be combined with other information that we have about you from other sources, may be used by the company for marketing and promotional purposes, and/or may be shared with other companies within the Cook Group. We may also share some of it with third-party business partners who assist us with initiatives such as order fulfillment or improving our site. When we do share this information, we require those third parties to adopt measures to protect your information in a manner consistent with this policy. We do not rent or sell your information or otherwise share it with any non-affiliated third party for their own use.
There may also be limited types of legal situations in which we are required to share some of your information, such as in the event of a transfer of ownership of the business, in connection with regulatory or legal matters, where required for safety and security, or as otherwise required or permitted by law. When we do share your information in such a situation, we limit the transfer to the information that is relevant under the circumstances and, to the extent possible, require the recipient to uphold an equivalent level of protection for the data.

Cookies and web tracking
Like most companies, we use cookies and other non-personal technologies on our websites. Cookies are pieces of computer information that are temporarily stored on the browser you use when you visit this website. They do not identify the person who is using the computer or otherwise affect the computer, but rather tell us such things as how many users visited our site, the pages they accessed, and whether there were any technical problems or delays that they experienced in loading pages that they were trying to view. By collecting this information, we learn how best to tailor our websites for our visitors and to ensure that they are functioning properly.
Some types of cookies, such as those that are used to ensure integrity when users make purchases through our website, serve an essential function. The websites cannot work properly without them. Where such essential cookies are used, they cannot be disabled if the visitor wants to use that function of our site. Other types of cookies, such as browser and flash cookies, don’t identify you as an individual but may enhance your online experience by saving your preferences while you are visiting a particular site so that you do not need to reset them each time you visit the website.
We also use certain web analytics to monitor web traffic and related trends regarding our websites. As is the case with cookies, this information does not identify the visitor but only provides statistical information to us so we can evaluate our site and improve it.
You can decline any browser or flash cookie by changing your web browser preferences so that the browser does not accept these technologies. However, doing so means you may not be able to take full advantage of all our website features.

Right of access, correction, or objection

In that regard, we invite you to contact us to update your information, such as your email address if it changes, so that you can continue to receive the information that you have requested from us.
