6. Use of Cookies: The Snoring Center may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized functionality. We do collect your email address through the use of cookies, and if your personal identifiable information changes or if you no longer desire our service, you may correct, update, delete or deactivate it by making the change on your member information by calling us at 214.369.2345.
The Snoring Center reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics with partner companies but does not allow other companies to place cookies on our website unless there is a temporary overriding customer value (such as merging into a site that relies on third-party cookies).
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings, be aware that this may disable some of the functionality on our website.
7. Use of Web Beacons or GIF Files: The Snoring Center web pages may contain electronic images known as web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel GIFs – that allow The Snoring Center to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. The Snoring Center may include web beacons in promotional email messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these web beacons may be placed by third party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email communications. These web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie on your computer. This allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views which in turn enables us and our service providers to learn which advertisements and emails bring you to our website and how you use the site. The Snoring Center prohibits web beacons from being used to collect or access your personal information.
8. The Option to Opt-Out of Communications from Us: We provide you the opportunity to opt-out of having your personal identifiable information used for certain purposes when we ask for this information. For example, if you purchase a product/service but do not wish to receive any additional marketing material from us, you can indicate your preference on our order form.
If you no longer wish to receive newsletters and promotional communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each newsletter or communication or by calling The Snoring Center at 214.369.2345. You may also opt-out of certain communications by writing us at The Snoring Center, 6901 Snider Plaza, Suite 225, Dallas, TX 75205.
