4. Cookies

“Cookies” are a feature in Your browser software. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record keeping purposes. If enabled, we may write cookies that may store small amounts of data on Your computer about Your visit to any of the pages of this Webiste.

When You visit the Website, Filter King tracks certain non-personally identifiable information with respect to Your behavior on the Website. Cookies assist us in tracking which of our features appeal the most to You and what content You may have viewed on past visits. When You visit the Website again, cookies can enable us to customize our content according to Your preferences. We may use cookies to: keep track of the number of return visits to the Website; accumulate and report aggregate, statistical information on Website usage; deliver specific content to You based on Your interests or past viewing history; save Your password for ease of access to the Website. You can disable cookies, although the Website may not function properly for You. Your browser preferences can be modified to accept or reject all cookies, or request a notification when a cookie is set. You may read more about cookies at http://cookiecentral.com. In order to use all of the features and functionality of the Website, You need to accept cookies.

Filter King uses both session cookies, which terminate when a user closes his/her browser, and persistent cookies, which remain on the user’s computer until manually deleted.

Filter King predominately uses “session” cookies, which are not permanently stored on Your hard drive. Session cookies expire after two hours of inactivity or when You close Your browser. When You carry out the purchase of a service or product on our Website, a large amount of data is processed by our system and transferred through each page of the search or registration. This information includes all information You input on a registration page or questionnaire You complete as part of the registration process as well as demographic information that is not unique to You. “Session” cookies allow us to keep track of this data until You have completed Your search or registration.

Filter King may use “persistent” cookies primarily to ensure that we do not show You pages that You have already seen and to personalize Your Website experience and save You time. “Persistent” Cookies enable us to recognize whether You have responded to any questionnaire or registration or have already been presented with an advertisement or information placed on the site so that we do not show You the same information again the next time You visit the Website. The “persistent” cookies we use will remain on Your computer after You have left the Website and will expire when You log out of the Website or 60 days after Your last visit for security cookies, 90 days after Your last visit for payment tracking cookies, or two years after Your last visit for advertisement cookies.

Third-Party Cookies. Filter King may also allow other companies to display advertisements to You while You are visiting the Website. Because Your web browser must request these advertisements from the other companies’ servers, these companies can view, edit or set their own cookies, just as if You had requested a web page from the Website. We have no control over the practices of those third party advertisers and are not responsible for their technology or tracking. We encourage You to review the policies of such advertisers when You link to their website.

Removing Cookies. You have the ability to accept, decline, move or remove cookies at any time by modifying Your browser settings. Please see http://cookiecentral.com. If You choose to decline cookies, however, that may hinder performance and negatively impact You experience on the Website.

5. Web Beacons

Filter King also uses electronic images known as Web beacons (sometimes called single-pixel gifs, clear gifs or action tags) that allow us to collect certain information about Your visit to the Website (including the number of users who have visited those pages), measure and improve the effectiveness of advertisements, and deliver services. Web beacons are not used to access Your personally identifiable information; they are a technique used to compile aggregated statistics about web site usage. Web beacons collect only a limited set of information including a cookie number, time and date of page view and a description of the page on which the Web beacon resides. This information may be shared with one or more third parties so that they can understand the kinds of visitors to the Website, how those visitors use the Website, and the effectiveness of their advertisements. We may also use web beacons in email messages sent to individuals listed in our database.

Because Web beacons are the same as any other content request, You cannot opt out or refuse them. However, they can be rendered ineffective by either opting out of cookies or changing the cookie setup in Your browser.
