We are constantly trying to improve how we promote our website. To help us do this, we may measure the effectiveness of our web presence by determining when you clicked on to get to our site. Site measurement statistics may be used to personalise your website experience, as well as to evaluate - anonymously and in the aggregate - statistics about usage of the website. Information about your computer, such as your IP address (a number assigned to your computer whenever you surf the Internet), the type of Internet browser you are using and the type of operating system you are using may also be collected and linked to your Personal Information. This is to ensure that our website presents the best web experience for visitors, and that they are effective information resources.

Some of the pages you visit may also collect information through the use of pixel tags (also called clear gifs) that may be shared with third parties which directly support Store Specials promotional activities and website development. For example, website usage information about visitors to our websites may be shared with our third party advertising agency to better target Internet banner advertisements on Store Specials web sites. The information collected through the use of these pixel tags is not, however, personally identifiable, although it could be linked to your Personal Information. Finally, we may supplement the information that you provided us with other information we hold or that we receive from third parties. We do this for marketing purposes to provide more targeted products and service to meet your needs.
