Google Remarketing
Our website uses a remarketing advertising service. Our remarketing service is provided by Google and other companies that show our ads on websites across the Internet. With remarketing you may see ads for our products you have previously looked at. As an example, suppose you visit a website that sells computers, but you do not buy a computer on your first visit to that website. The website’s owner might like to encourage you to revisit their site and buy a computer by showing you their ads again on other websites that you visit. We use remarketing for similar purposes. For this to happen, Google will read a cookie that is already in your browser. This can only happen if your browser is set to let it happen.

We have taken steps to build our website using industry-standard encryption and authentication tools to protect the security of your PII.

However, you understand and agree that we are in no way responsible for any misuse of your credit card number.
