1. Information Gathered by CWOP through the Website
CWOP gathers two basic types of information through the Website: (i) "Personal Information," information from which an individual can be identified, and (ii) "Aggregate Information," from which an individual cannot be identified.
a. Personal Information. You are not ordinarily required to register or provide Personal Information in order to access the Website, though certain functionalities such as a membership program, through which purchasers of products may receive discounts on online purchases, participating in any contests, etc., may require registration. CWOP collects Personal Information from you only when you voluntarily provide it to CWOP - for example, in contacting CWOP through the Website, answering surveys and polls, entering contests and similar promotions, signing up for email/SMS updates and announcements concerning the CWOP's products and special promotions, and purchasing the CWOP’s merchandise. Personal Information may include your contact information (such as your name, postal address, telephone numbers and/or email address), as well as your payment information, such as credit card number and expiration date ("Payment Information"), which will be collected as part of the purchase transaction of any product or merchandise made available through the Website ("Transaction").
b. Aggregate Information. When you visit the Website, CWOP and the third parties with whom the CWOP has contracted to provide services, may collect anonymous information from three sources: server log files, cookies, and pixel tags.
1. Your Internet Protocol (IP) address is an identifying number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This number is identified and logged automatically in the CWOP’s server log files whenever you visit the Website, along with the time(s) of your visit(s) and the page(s) that you visited. IP addresses of all Visitors are used by the CWOP to calculate the Website usage levels, to help diagnose problems with the Website's servers, and to administer the Website.

If you do not want your information to be collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure to be followed, in most of the browsers, by the user that allows the user to delete existing cookies, automatically decline cookies, or to be given the choice of declining or accepting the transfer of particular cookies to the user's computer system. You should note, however, that declining cookies may make it difficult or impossible for you to access certain portions of the Website.
