HOW WE MAY OBTAIN THIS INFORMATION
Cookie Technology – ‘cookies’ are encrypted strings of text that a website stores on a user’s computer. Our website may from time to time require the use of cookies on the site. Without cookies we will not be able to keep information you enter on multiple pages together. Cookies also enable us to customize our website and offerings to your needs and provide you with a better online experience on utopiatraditional.com. In addition, cookies are used to:
Measure usage of various pages on our website to help us make our information more pertinent to your needs and easy for you to access.
Provide functionality such as order history and other functionality that we believe would be of interest and value to you.
The types of cookies that we use are referred to as ‘session’ cookies and ‘persistent’ cookies. Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted once you leave utopiatraditional.com. Persistent cookies remain on your computer hard drive until you delete them. We do not use cookies to gather information concerning your visits to other sites, nor ascertain any personally identifiable information about you apart from what you voluntarily provide us in your dealings with Utopia Traditional. Cookies do not corrupt or damage your computer, programs, or computer files.
In addition, the service providers we use to serve and host our advertisements, and/or deliver our e-mails, use session and persistent cookies, to track the number of times Utopia Traditional is accessed and whether the site was accessed from an advertisement. Sometimes cookie technology is used to track the number of times an advertisement is viewed. In all cases, the cookie generated from the advertisement or e-mail does not contain any personally identifiable information and will remain on your hard drive until you delete it.
You may set your browser to block cookies or warn you every time one is sent (view your HELP menu to learn the correct way to change or update your cookies on your particular browser), although doing so may adversely affect your ability to perform certain transactions, use certain functionality and access certain content on our website.
PIXEL TAGS
Utopia Traditional and their third party service providers use pixel tags (also known as ‘clear gifs’ or ‘beacon gifs’). Pixel tags are not visible to the user of the web site and consist of a few lines of computer coding. Pixel tags are not used to collect any personally identifiable information about you apart from what you voluntarily provide us in your dealings with utopiatraditional.com. We and our e-mail service provider use pixel tags to:
Track responses to our advertisements and site content.
Determine your ability to receive HTML-based e-mail messages. Our e-mail service provider includes a pixel tag, which they refer to as a ‘coded sensor’, in all of the HTML-based messages sent on our behalf. The sensor activates when the e-mail message is opened and flags the e-mail address of the user as one that is capable of receiving HTML-based email messages. This capability helps our service provider to send the e-mail in a format you can read. The sensor does not collect or use any other information. If you cannot receive HTML, you will not receive a functioning sensor.
know how many users open an e-mail and allow our service provider to compile aggregated statistics about an e-mail campaign for us, and allow us to better target interactive advertising, enhance customer support and site usability, and provide offers and promotions that we believe would be of interest to you.
