This Cookie Policy ("Cookie Policy") explains how and why Broder Bros.,Co. dba alphabroder ("alphabroder", "we", or "us") uses cookies and other tracking technologies on its website and your related choices. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more information on our privacy practices.
We Use Cookies
We automatically collect personal information about users over time and across different websites when you use this website. We also have third party service providers and partners that collect personal information this way on our website. To do this, we use several common cookies and tracking tools. These may include browser cookies, web beacons, flash cookies, and similar technologies. Brief descriptions of these common cookies and tracking technologies are provided below.
- Cookies: A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer's hard drive or stored temporarily in your computer's memory. There are two kinds of cookies: those that are session oriented and those that are persistent. Session cookies make it easier for you to navigate our Site and expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain longer and help in understanding how you use the Site and enhance your user experience. Cookies may remain on your hard drive for an extended period of time. Most web browsers accept cookies automatically. You can delete cookies manually or set your browser to automatically delete cookies on a pre-determined schedule. If you use your browser's method of blocking or removing cookies, some but not all types of cookies may be deleted and/or blocked and as a result, some features and functionalities of the Site may not work.
- Web Beacons: Our web pages or e-mail messages may contain a small graphic image called a web beacon, which is sometimes also called a clear gif, that allows us to monitor and collect certain limited information about our users, such as the type of browser requesting the web beacon, the IP address of the computer that the web beacon is sent to and the time the web beacon was viewed. Web beacons can be very small or invisible to the user, but, in general, any electronic image viewed as part of a web page or e-mail, including HTML based content, can act as a web beacon. We may use web beacons to count visitors to our web pages or to monitor how our users navigate our Site, and we may include web beacons in e-mail messages in order to count how many of the messages we sent were actually opened or acted upon. We may use web beacons to compile aggregate statistics about our Site and our marketing campaigns.
- Flash Cookies: Adobe's Flash Player is used by many websites that offer video and other interactive content. By default, your use of the Adobe Flash Player generates flash cookies (also known as persistent identification elements or local shared objects), which are data files that are placed on your device via the Adobe Flash plug-in and are locally stored on your device other than in the browser and browser settings won't control them. The Adobe Flash Player (and similar applications) use flash cookies to remember user settings, preferences and usage similar to the browser cookies referenced above.

These ads might be served on the Site. They might also be served in emails. We might serve these ads, or third parties may serve ads about our products.
