In general, you can visit the MAK Grills website (the “Site”) without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers collect the domain names, not the email addresses, of visitors. This information is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the Site, pages viewed, etc. MAK Grills utilizes this information (“behavior profiles”) to measure the use of our Site and to improve the content we offer.

We may share with third parties experimental information or other data which does not personally identify users of our site. MAK Grills is the sole owner of the information collected on this Site. We will not sell, share or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement.

Usually, we use your Personally Identifiable Information only to respond to your inquiries, process an order, contact you regarding account status or customer service, let you know about products or services which may be of interest to you, or to allow you to access specific account information.

Cookies

Like many websites, we use “cookies” to enable us to remember your password, to help us identify the portions of our Site that may be the most relevant for your needs, and to help us identify other products or services that may be of interest to you or others. A cookie is a small piece of information that a website can store on your web browser and then retrieve at a later time.

We use cookies to track the portions of our Site you visit. There are products commercially available that are designed to help you disable cookies. Although we want you to be aware that such products exist, please note that if you choose to use them we will not be able to provide you with a personalized service, and it may result in certain features and services not being available to you.

However, do note that if you disable or reject cookies, the user may not be able to participate in any of our contests or monthly drawings that take place by email. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interest of our users to enhance the experience on our site.

You may opt-out of receiving emails from us if you choose.
