Our Use of Cookies and Other Identifiers

We use identifiers such as cookies, Web beacons and IP addresses to make interactions with users easy and meaningful.

Cookies

When you visit hdmretail.com, HDM Retail’s servers send a cookie to your computer. Standing alone, cookies do not identify you. They merely recognize your Web browser. Unless you choose to identify yourself to HDM Retail, either by responding to a promotional offer, opening an account, or filling out a Web form, you remain anonymous to HDM Retail.

We use cookies that are session-based and persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during one session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser software or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your browser or turn off your computer.

If you have identified yourself to hdmretail.com, we use session cookies containing encrypted information to identify you uniquely. Each time you log into the Products and Services, your browser saves a session cookie containing an encrypted, unique identifier tied to your account. These session cookies allow hdmretail.com to identify you uniquely while you are logged into the Products and Services and to process your online transactions and requests. Use of the Products and Services requires session cookies.

Dealsdeals.co.uk uses persistent cookies that only we can read and use to identify users who have visited our website previously. When you purchase the Products and Services or provide us with personal information, our website assigns a unique identifier to you. This unique identifier derives from a persistent cookie that hdmretail.com places on your Web browser. We especially are careful about the security and confidentiality of the information stored in persistent cookies. For example, we store neither account numbers nor passwords in persistent cookies. If you disable your Web browser’s ability to accept cookies, you will be able to navigate hdmretail.com, but you will be unable to use the Products and Services successfully.

We may use information from session and persistent cookies in combination with data about HDM Retail’s website users to provide you with information about us and the Products and Services.

The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable cookies. You also can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on’s settings or visiting the website of its manufacturer. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on, however, because they allow you to take advantage of some of HDM Retail’s essential features. For instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you won’t be able to access or use your account at my.hdmretail.com or to enter comments and questions on our community forums. You will be able to browse hdmretail.com, to use our knowledge base (kb.hdmretail.com), and to read community forums.
