Cookies and Other Tracking Technology

We, and third parties on our behalf, use cookies, web beacons, navigational and location data, clear gifs, clickstream data, and other similar tracking technologies (collectively, “Tracking Technologies”) to collect personal information automatically as you interact with our Services to help us customize your experience and better manage content on our Services, including to: (a) analyze our web traffic using an analytics package; (b) identify whether you already visited our Sites; (c) store information about your preferences; and (d) to recognize when you return to our Sites. We may also use web beacons in emails and newsletters so that we know when such communications have been opened and to otherwise help us tailor our communications to you.

Cookies. When you visit our Services, we (or third-party data or ad networks we work with) may send one or more “cookies” to your computer or other devices. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers stored on your computer through your web browser and are used by most websites to help personalize your web experience. Some cookies may facilitate additional site features for enhanced performance and functionality such as remembering preferences, allowing social interactions, analyzing usage for site optimization, providing custom content, allowing third parties to provide social sharing tools, and serving images or videos from third-party websites. Some features on the Services will not function if you do not allow cookies. The following types of cookies may be used on our Services:

  • Essential Cookies
    These cookies are essential because they enable you to use our Services as you reasonably expect. For example, strictly necessary cookies allow you to access secure areas on our Sites and provide necessary security functions. Without these cookies, some features cannot be provided. This category of cookies is essential for our Services to work and they cannot be disabled.
  • Targeted Advertising Cookies
    These cookies may be set through our Services by our marketing partners. Personal Information may be collected by these companies that enable them to serve up advertisements on other sites that are relevant to your interests.
  • Personalization Cookies
    We use functional cookies to remember your choices so that we may tailor our Services to provide you with enhanced features and personalized content. While these cookies can be disabled, this may result in less functionality during your use of our Services.
  • Analytics Cookies
    These cookies allow us to collect passive information about your use of our Services, for example, count page visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Services and our marketing activities.

Managing Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept cookies. If you do not want us to deploy cookies in your browser, you may exercise your preference through our cookie preferences manager, which you can access by clicking on the cookie symbol in the bottom right hand corner of this screen, or by modifying your web browser setting to either (1) refuse some or all cookies or (2) notify you and ask for your permission when a website tries to set a cookie.

If you want to learn the correct way to modify your browser settings, please use the “Help,” “Tools” or “Edit” menu in your browser or review the instructions provided by the following browsers: Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari Desktop, Safari Mobile; and Android browser.  If you choose to disable cookies in your browser, you can still use our Sites, although your ability to use some of the features may be affected.

Analytics
We use Google Analytics, which uses cookies and other similar tracking technologies to collect and analyze information about your use of our Sites and report on activities and trends. This service may also collect information regarding your use of other websites, apps and online resources. You consent to the processing of data by these analytics providers in the manner and for the purposes set out in this Policy. You can learn about Google’s practices by going to www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, and opt out of them by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Mobile App Advertising

When you use our mobile application, we or our third party marketing partners may use one or more of several different identifiers for your mobile device, including Apple Identifier For Advertising (IDFA) or Android Advertising ID (AAID), to target and deliver ads to you in our app or other apps. This means that your device identifier may be accessed by third-party ad networks and used to (a) help manage the number and types of ads you see; (b) track the source of installs related to ads seen in other apps; and (c) identify your interests and behavior and target advertising to you based on those interests and behavior.

iOS
Apple requires app developers to ask for permission before they can track your activity across apps or websites they do not own in order to target advertising to you, measure your actions due to advertising, or to share your information with data brokers.  If you previously gave our mobile app permission to track, you can tell our app to stop tracking your activity. On iOS or iPadOS, go to Settings, tap on our app, then tap to turn off Allow Tracking.  You can also reset your IDFA from your mobile device’s settings page, which will prevent continued use of existing behavioral data tied to your previous IDFA.

Android
If you have an Android device, and are running Android 12 or above, you can delete your AAID permanently by opening Settings, navigating to Privacy > Ads, tapping “Delete advertising ID,” then tapping it again on the next page to confirm. This will prevent any app on your phone from accessing it in the future. Please note that if you do so, you will still see advertisements, but they will not be tailored to your inferred interests.

You may also access industry-provided opt-out tools, although they are not tailored to our mobile applications.  For instance, to opt-out of data collection by the Digital Advertising Alliance’s participating member companies for interest-based advertising across mobile applications, download the DAA’s App Choices mobile application opt-out offering at https://youradchoices.com/appchoices.

Website Interest-Based Advertising

Many advertising companies that collect information for interest-based advertising are members of the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) or the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), both of which maintain websites where people can opt out of interest-based advertising from their members. To opt out of website interest-based advertising provided by each organization’s respective participating companies, visit the DAA’s opt-out portal available at http://optout.aboutads.info/, or visit the NAI’s opt-out portal available at http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1.

Do Not Track

Some Internet browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari, include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” or “DNT” signals. Since uniform standards for “DNT” signals have not been adopted, our Site does not currently process or respond to “DNT” signals.

Why We Collect Personal Information

We use your personal data only for specific and limited purposes. We will only use your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy or as disclosed to you prior to such processing taking place. We use your personal information for the following purposes:

  • To process your requests and wine club orders

If we combine any non-personal information with personal information, the combined information will be treated by us as personal information as long as it is combined.

International Data Transfers
