These notices and offers will be targeted to your individual preferences and tastes based on the information you have provided. In addition, we may use personal information to better design our Web Site and we may share it with advertisers.
These partners include companies that facilitate marketing offers, promotions, newsletters, etc. We will seek to obtain your consent at the place where the information is collected by an "opt-out" method.
