We provide you the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having your Personally Identifiable Information used for certain purposes, when we ask for this information.

You will be notified when your Personally Identifiable Information is collected by any third party that is not our agent or service provider, so you can make an informed choice as to whether or not to share your information with that party.

Log Files
As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

We do not link this automatically-collected data to Personally Identifiable Information.

We use our tracking service which is based off of Log files in conjunction with a third-party tracking service called “Google Analytics” that uses cookies to track non-Personally Identifiable Information about visitors to our site in the aggregate usage and volume statistics to understand our visitors to help enhance their customer experience using our websites.

Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies on our Sites. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any Personally Identifiable Information you submit while on our site.

We use session ID cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site and maintain your shopping cart. A session ID cookie expires when you close you browser. For help with cookies, please visit: http://www.efisportsmedicine.com/help/
Briefly, "cookies" are small files that we transfer to your computer's hard drive or your Web browser memory to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide convenience and other features to you, such as recognizing you as an existing customer or previous Sites visitor.
If you reject cookies, you may still use our Sites, but your ability to use some areas of our Sites, such as contests or surveys or ordering will be limited.

Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies on our site. We have no access to or control over these cookies. See “Third Party Advertisers.”

This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by EFI Sites only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Clear Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs)
We employ, or our third party advertising partners employ, a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that help us better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to our customers’ Personally Identifiable Information.

To learn more about our advertising company’s use of clear gifs, please go to http://www.providesupport.com and http://www.google.com/analytics.

We use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If you would like to opt-out of these emails, please see “Choice and Opt-out.”
