For example, like many websites, we use cookies and clear GIFs (web beacons) and we obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses Wilh.

Examples of the information we collect and analyze include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your device to the Internet; device and connection information such as browser type, version, and time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system, and platform; purchase history. We may also use browser data such as cookies, Flash cookies (also known as Flash Local Shared Objects), or similar data on certain parts of our website for fraud prevention and other purposes.

E-mail Communications: We may also use email addresses to contact visitors who communicate with us. For example, we send email to visitors who provide us with their email addresses for specific purposes such as receiving our email newsletters or being notified if they have won one of our contests. Each email newsletter always contains instructions on how to discontinue receipt of the emails from us. However, if a visitor at any time chooses to no longer receive such information and opt-out from any future mailings, they should simply click UNSUBSCRIBE to any of our e-mail sent to them or change their email marketing preferences in their Wilh.
