How We Use Cookies
Cookies are pieces of information that a website sends to your computer while you are viewing the website. These pieces of information allow the website to remember important information that will make your use of that site more useful. This website, like other Internet sites, uses cookies for a variety of purposes. You can usually set your Internet browser to warn you each time a cookie is being sent or to turn off all cookies. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn about the options your browser provides regarding cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won’t have access to site features that make your Web experience more efficient — like the features mentioned above — and some of our services will not function properly.
How We Use the Information
We use personally identifiable information in a limited number of ways. We use the information to operate our business, to respond to your requests and to provide information or updates from ThinkFun (depending on the option you have chosen). We may use the information we collect to understand and improve our website, our products and our services. In addition, we may also use the information to contact you regarding changes to our privacy policy or other policies that may affect you and your use of our website, products and services.
