What are cookies?

When you visit certain websites, a cookie is a small amount of information that's downloaded to your computer or device. Including the strictly necessary, performance, advertising, and social media or content cookies on Douglas Krantz's Technician's Corner, there are a number of different cookies.

By allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login and region selection), cookies make your browsing experience better. This means you don't have to re-enter this information each time you return to the site or browse from one page to another. For instance whether it's their first time visiting or if they are a frequent visitor, cookies provide information on how people use the website.

To allow you to browse this website, use its features, and access secure areas, some cookies may be necessary. For this website to completely work for you, the use of these cookies is essential. For example, to keep track of a user's input when a user is filling in forms that span several pages, Douglas Krantz's Technician's Corner may use user-input cookies for the duration of a session.

Douglas Krantz's Technician's Corner also uses functional cookies to remember choices you've made or information you've provided, such as your username, language, or the region you are in.

Douglas Krantz's Technician's Corner is dedicated to user experience and uses many tools to help improve this website. To this end, reporting and analytics cookies are used. Information is collected about how you use this website or our merchants' storefronts, and how often.

These cookies only gather information for statistical purposes and only use pseudonymous cookie identifiers that do not directly identify you.

The performance cookies we use include:

First Party Analytics Cookies - We use these cookies to estimate the number of unique visitors, to improve our website, and to detect the most searched for words in search engines that lead to a webpage.

These cookies are not used to target you with online marketing. We use these cookies to learn how our website is performing, to improve your browsing experience, and make relevant improvements.

Third Party Analytics Cookies - We use Google Analytics and other third-party analytics providers to help measure how users interact with our website content.

These cookies "remember" what our users have done on previous pages and how they've interacted with the website. For more information on Google Analytics, visit Google's information page. For instructions on how opt out of Google Analytics, see below.

To tailor marketing to you and your interests and provide you with a more personalized service in the future, advertising cookies are used on this website. These cookies remember that you visited this website and this information may be shared with third-parties, such as advertisers.

This website does set advertising cookies through our merchants' storefronts ourselves, though merchants may choose to do so independently.

Finally, Social and Content cookies are placed by many social media plugins (for example the Facebook 'like' button), and other tools meant to provide or improve the content on a website (for example services that allow the playing of video files, or that create comments sections).
