This Privacy Policy is only applicable to the Website and not to any Third-Party Websites, which may have data collection, storage and use practices and policies that differ materially from this Privacy Policy. For additional information, see the section concerning Third-Party Websites, below.

BY USING THE WEBSITE, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO THE TERMS OF, THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS PRIVACY POLICY, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY LEAVE THE WEBSITE.

Each time You use the Website, the then-current version of this Privacy Policy will apply. Accordingly, each time You use the Website You should check the date of this Privacy Policy (which appears at the end) and review any changes since the last time You used the Website. For additional information, see the section concerning Updates and Changes to Privacy Policy, below.

Like most website operators, PDXWine automatically gathers information of the sort that browsers automatically make available, including: (i) IP addresses; (ii) domain servers; (iii) types of computers accessing the Website; and (iv) types of Web browsers accessing the Website (collectively “Traffic Data”). Traffic Data is anonymous information that does not personally identify You.

(b) Cookies

When you visit any website, it may store or retrieve information on your browser, usually in the form of cookies. This information could be about you, your preferences or the device you’re using and is often used to make the site work as you expect it to. The information does not usually directly identify you, and on our site gives you a more personalized web experience.

Because we rely on cookies to provide the best possible website experience for you (including special prices, special offers, and a smooth, often custom browsing experience) you must accept cookies to use www.pdxwine.com.

Please note that we never sell your personal information to 3rd parties.

Here are more details about the types of Cookies we use:

Essential Cookies

These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are necessary for our website to properly function. They are only set in response to actions made by you requesting services, for example, setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. If you set your browser to block these cookies, some or all of our site will not work.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable our website to provide an enhanced personalized experience. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you set your browser to block these cookies, some or all of our site will not work.

Analytics

These anonymous cookies allow to measure our site performance and improve it, by helping us know which pages are the most frequented, how visitors move around the site, and where our web traffic is coming from. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and won’t be able to provide a customized experience to you.

Advertising

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites.

(c) Web beacons

“Web Beacons” (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags or web bugs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to Cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web users or to access Cookies.
