("
Company
," "
we
," "
us
," and "
our
") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit
our website at
https://holecutterstore.com
("
Website
"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well
as your rights to control our use of them.
In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that
becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile
device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners
in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well
as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case,
Lightsmith Inc.
) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than
the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies
enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through
the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The
parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer
both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain
other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first-
and third-
party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical
reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential"
or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track
and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our
Online Properties.
Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics,
and other purposes.
This is described in more detail below.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You
can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie
Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which
categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be
rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.
The Cookie Consent Manager can be found in the notification banner and
on our website. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our
website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website
may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls
to accept or refuse cookies.
The specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through our
Website and the purposes they perform are described in the table below
(please note that the specific
cookies served may vary depending on the specific Online Properties you

Performance and functionality cookies:

How can I control cookies on my browser?
As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser
controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's
help menu for more information. The following is information about how
to manage cookies on the most popular browsers:
In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted
advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit:
What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way
to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar
technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking
pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a
unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited
our Website
or opened an email including them
. This allows us, for example, to monitor
the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another,
to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have
come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party
website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email
marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant
on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their
functioning.
Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared
Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information
about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations.
If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust
the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using
the tools contained in the
Website Storage Settings Panel
. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the
Global Storage Settings Panel
and
following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain,
for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information"
on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on
your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later)
how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator
of the page you are on at the time).
Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance
of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications,
including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our
services or online content.
Do you serve targeted advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve
advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about
your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements
about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ
technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements.
They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information
about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant
advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The
information collected through this process does not enable us or them to
identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify
you unless you choose to provide these.
How often will you update this Cookie Policy?
We may update
this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example,
changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory
reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay
informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
