Privacy Statement. Deck Depot, LLC, a Georgia Limited Liability Company, ("Deck Depot") operates this web site, deckdepot.com. All references to "we", "us", "this web site" or "this site" shall be construed to mean Deck Depot. Deck Depot understands that visitors to this web site are concerned about the privacy of information. The following describes our privacy policy, including our policy regarding information that we collect through this web site.
Passive Information Collection (usage data). We reserve the right to automatically collect certain anonymous information based on your usage of the site (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information)using various technologies, such as cookies, Internet tags or web beacons, and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, clickstream). For example, as explained in more detail below, your Internet browser automatically transmits to this site some of this anonymous information, such as the URL of the Web site you just came from and the Internet Protocol (IP) address and the browser version your computer is currently using. This site may also collect anonymous information from your computer through cookies and Internet tags or web beacons. You may set your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent or to refuse cookies altogether, but certain features of this site might not work without cookies.
The following is a listing and a brief explanation of usage data information collection methodologies which we may use from time to time to enhance the services we offer. A "cookie" is a bit of information that a Web site sends to your Web browser that helps the site remember information about you and your preferences. "Internet tags" (also known as Web Beacons, single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the Web site server information such as the IP address and browser type related to the visitor's computer. Tags may be placed both on online advertisements that bring people to the site and on different pages of the site. Such tags indicate how many times a page is opened and which information is consulted. "Navigational data" (log files, server logs, and clickstream data) are used for system management, to improve the content of the site, market research purposes, and to communicate information to visitors.
Use and Sharing of Passive Information. This site may use, combine, and share such passively collected anonymous information to provide better service to site visitors, customize the site based on your preferences, compile and analyze statistics and trends, and otherwise administer and improve the site for your use.
