We collect information through cookies. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart. Cookies are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

We may employ third-party service companies to process your information to assist us in better understanding the Websites’ visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.

Through your browser, you can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. We do not control and cannot guarantee the effectiveness of third-party cookie-management tools.

We may work with marketing partners who deliver interest-based advertising to you on other websites, based on the way you shop and interact with those sites or other information, not provided by Aramsco or delivered on the Websites. You have a choice about whether you want to allow use of your information in this manner, and can learn more and opt-out of online advertising by visiting: http://www.aboutads.info/choices.
