That information is often usage data (as defined in this policy), but when that automatically collected information can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat it as personal data. Finally, we may aggregate personal data and/or usage data, and that aggregate data (as defined in this policy) is a separate type of information about you.

We and our service providers may collect this information using “cookies”(which are small text files that are saved on your computer using your web browser when you access the online stores and identified when you return), “web beacons” or “pixels” (which are unobtrusive elements of a website that may identify you as a visitor to the online stores), or other similar technologies (collectively, “tracking technologies”).
