Our Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms

We use cookies and other tracking mechanisms to track information about your use of our Site or Products. We may combine this information with other personal information we collect from you. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Site and our Products, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities with respect to our Site and our Products. Some cookies are used to enable certain functions of the Services, and some are used to store your preferences. We may use cookies to remember information that changes the way the Site behave or look. Some of the cookies we use are necessary to enable you to move around the Site and use its features, including accessing secure areas that may contain content for registered users. We may use accounts-related cookies to authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use of user accounts. We may use analytics cookies to track information about how the Site and Products are used so that we can make improvements. We may also use analytics cookies to test new advertisements, pages, features or new functionality of the Site to see how our users react to them. In addition, we use web beacons or tracking pixels to count visitor numbers and performance cookies to track how many individual users access the Site, and how often; it is not our intention to use such information to personally identify any user. However, if you have registered and signed into the Site, we may combine this information with information from our web analytic services and cookies to analyze how you use the Site in more detail. In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the Site and the Products, deliver advertisements on and through the Site, and so on. Cookies may be used to create profiles of our users, based on the user information we collect, and cookies may enable users’ identification across multiple websites. You can find more detailed information about cookies and how they work at https://www.aboutcookies.org/. Cookies may include session cookies and persistent cookies.

  • Session Cookies. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your computer. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or while you are logged into the Site. This allows us to process your online transactions and requests and to verify your identity, after you have logged in, as you move through our Site.
  • Persistent Cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you have closed your browser or turned off your computer. We use persistent cookies to track aggregate and statistical information about user activity.
  • Disabling Cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. If you visit our Site and disable cookies, you will be able to browse certain areas of the Site, but some features may not function, you may not be able to store your preferences, and some of our pages may not display properly. Be aware that any preference you have set will be lost if you delete all cookies, including your preference to opt-out from cookies as this itself requires an opt-out cookie to have been set.
  • Your Consent To The Use Of Cookies. By using the Site or purchasing or using any of our Products, and by consenting to the terms of this Policy, you consent to our use of cookies.
  • Third-Party Analytics And Tracking. We use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics, to evaluate usage of our Site. We also may use other analytic means to evaluate our Site and our Products. We use these tools to help us improve our Products, performance, and user experiences. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their services. We do not share your personal information with these third parties.
  • Social Buttons. We use ‘social buttons’ to enable our users to share or bookmark web pages. These are buttons for third-party social media sites, and these sites may log information about your activities on the Internet, including on our Site. Please review the respective terms of use and privacy policies of these third-party sites to understand exactly how they use your information, and to find out how to opt out or to delete such information.
  • External Web Services. We may sometimes use external web services on the Site to display content within the web pages of the Site, for example to display images, show videos or run polls. As with the social buttons, we cannot prevent these sites, or external domains, from collecting information on your use of this embedded content.
  • Tracking Email Communications. We may also use tracking technologies to determine whether you have read, clicked on, or forwarded certain email communications we send to you so that we can make our communications more helpful and interesting. If you do not wish us to confirm whether you have opened, clicked on or forwarded our communications, you will need to unsubscribe, as it is not possible for us to send these emails without tracking enabled. If, at any time, you prefer not to receive further email communications from ImageSeller (except in connection with information or Products that you specifically request), you will have the ability to unsubscribe from such communications by means of a link provided in every broadcast email that is sent to you by ImageSeller. If, at any time, you prefer not to receive any other form of communication from ImageSeller, you will have the ability to unsubscribe from such communications by contacting us at info@imageseller.com.

Do-Not-Track Disclosures

Currently, our systems do not recognize browser “do-not-track” requests.

Third-Party Links

Our Site and materials related to our Products may contain links to third-party websites. Any access to or use of such linked websites is not governed by this Policy, but instead is governed by the privacy policies of those third-party websites. We are not responsible for the information practices of such third-party websites. We encourage visitors to such third-party websites to review the privacy statements on each of those other websites before disclosing any personal information.

Protection Of Your Personal Information

We use a range of physical, electronic and managerial measures to ensure that we keep your personal data secure, accurate and up to date. These measures include:

  • administrative and technical controls to restrict access to personal data on a ‘need to know’ basis; and
  • technological security measures, including fire walls, password protection, encryption and anti-virus software.

Although we use appropriate security measures once we have received your personal data, the transmission of data over the Internet (including by e-mail) is never completely secure.  We endeavor to protect personal data, but we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to us or by us.

You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your accounts and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, and keeping your log-in and password private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.

What Choices Do You Have Regarding Use of Your Personal Information?

We may send periodic promotional or informational emails to you. You may opt out of such communications by following the opt-out instructions contained in the email. Please note that it may take up to ten (10) business days for us to process opt-out requests. If you opt out of receiving emails about recommendations or other information we think may interest you, we may still send you emails about your account or any Products you have requested or received from us.
