We, like many websites, use cookie technology throughout our side. By placing a “cookie” on your computer’s hard drive we can recognize you as a new or return user and personalize your experience. A cookie is a piece of data stored on your computer’s hard drive that enables us to track and target your shopping experience and order as you shop on our site. For example, cookies are used to save your Cart information so you can browse from page to page without losing that information. If you reject our cookies, you may still use Aperio Beauty’s Website, but you may be limited in some of the features. Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information.
Furthermore, our computer servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website. These server logs may include information such as the date and time of your access to Aperio Beauty’s Website, the length of time of your visit, the portions of Aperio Beauty’s Website accessed, the number of times you visit and purchase from Aperio Beauty’s Website, the IP address assigned to your computer, the type of browser used by your computer, the domain from which your connection to Aperio Beauty’s Website originates, external site shopping habits, web-browsing activity and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your computer.
We assign you a unique internal identifier to help keep track of your future visits. We use this information to gather aggregate demographic information about our visitors, and we use it to personalize the information you see on Aperio Beauty’s Website and the e-mails you receive from us (should you grant us permission to send e-mails to you). We keep this information for our internal use; we do not share it with others. This information is in no way tied to your personal information, including your e-mail address.

Aperio Beauty may also share your personally identifiable information with third parties that perform services for us, such as our affiliates, advertisers, partners, potential business partners, and other unaffiliated entities, but only for the purposes of their performing such services for us.
