For a list of categories of personal information that we collect, and the purposes for which we use such personal information, see our Privacy Policy.

 

While we do not sell personal information for monetary value, we may disclose personal information to third parties, in such a way that may be considered a sale of personal information under CCPA. To stop such sales, see the Privacy Policy.

For mobile platforms that require explicit, opt-in consent to link or track user or device data, CSN does not link or track user or device data collected from application(s) with user or device data collected from other companies’ applications, websites or offline properties for targeted advertising or advertising measurement purposes.

Cross-Device Linking

We may also link your various devices so that content you see on one device can result in a relevant experience on another device. This allows us to deliver more personalized and consistent advertising to you. For example, if you purchase a product on our website using your desktop, we are able to avoid showing you an advertisement on the same product on your mobile phone; if you add an item to your cart on CSN’s website through your mobile device, but leave the website without purchasing the item, we are able to show you that item in your cart on another device.

We allow third-party companies to collect certain information when you visit our website. This information is used to serve ads for CSN products or services or for the products or services of other companies when you visit this website or other websites. These companies use non-identifiable information (e.g., click stream information, browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over, hardware/software information, and session ID) and personally identifiable information (e.g., static IP address) during your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you. These parties typically use a cookie, web beacon or other similar tracking technologies to collect this information.
