5. Navigational Information

5.1. Cookies
CakeBoss uses cookies or similar technologies to analyze trends, administer the website, track users’ movements around the website, and to maximize the performance of the site. 

We use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web server. Cookies are not used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you filter your orders by date due, we use a cookie so that every time you visit the site you see your orders sorted this way.  On the Subscription Service, a cookie helps us to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. When you return to the same Website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the customized features.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the CakeBoss Subscription Service or Websites you visit. 

5.2. Log Files
There is information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by us. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, internet service provider (ISP), the files viewed on our site (e.g., HTML pages, graphics, etc.), operating system, access times and referring website addresses. This information is used by CakeBoss for the operation of the Subscription Service, to maintain quality of the Subscription Service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the CakeBoss Website. For these purposes, we do link this automatically-collected data to Personal Information such as name, email address, address, and phone number.

5.3. Advertising
We do not serve any third-party ads on the CakeBoss Cloud subscription service.
