Cookies, Pixels and Other Tools That May Collect Information About You
In addition to personal information you may provide directly to us, Wolverine and its business partners may collect and store information about you and your use of the Site through cookies, tracking pixels, and other technologies (collectively, the "Tools"). Cookies are small text files that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive or on your device.
We collect, use, and modify this information to better understand, customize, and improve your experience with the Site and other websites, services, and offerings, as well as to manage our advertising. For example, we use web analytics services that leverage these Tools to help us understand how visitors engage with and navigate our Site, e.g., how and when pages on the Site are visited and by how many visitors. We are also able to offer our visitors a more customized and relevant experience on the Site by delivering, through the use of these Tools, content and functionality based on your preferences and interests. If you have provided us with personal information, e.g., through a registration or a request for certain materials, we may associate that personal information with information gathered through the Tools. This allows us to offer increased personalization and functionality.
To learn more about the use of cookies generally or other technologies to deliver more relevant advertising, and to better understand how to manage your personal information, including access to and use by certain service providers, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices.
If you do not wish for cookies to be placed on your computer or device, most web browsers permit you to prevent that from taking place. Information about opting out of cookie-based advertising can be found via the following links: http://optout.networkadvertising.org and https://www.neustar.biz/privacy/opt-out. Please keep in mind that cookies and similar technologies are an important part of how the Site works, and removing, rejecting, or limiting the use of these tools might affect the availability and functionality of our Site.
Google Services
We use Google Analytics to help us gather statistical information about the visitors to our Site and to market our products. Specifically, we use Google Adwords and Google Signals remarketing technology to market our products throughout the Internet (through Adwords) and across devices (through Signals), but only if you have turned on Ads Personalization through Google. Additionally, we use the Google Display Network and DoubleClick Bid Manager, which allow us to place ads on websites and conduct analyses and prepare reports concerning such ads. To understand how Google Analytics collects and processes data, please visit Google's Privacy Policy.
Google Analytics relies on cookies. In addition to controlling cookies generally as described above, you may have the ability to specifically control the type of information that Google Analytics uses. You can opt-out of Google Analytics by visiting the Google Ads Preferences Manager. In addition, to provide website visitors more choice on how their data is collected by Google Analytics, Google has developed an Opt-out Browser add-on, which is available by visiting Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on , to enable you to opt-out of Google's programs.
Do Not Track Disclosures
Do Not Track ("DNT") is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. When a user turns on DNT, the browser sends a message to websites requesting that they do not track the user across sites. This Site responds to certain DNT browser settings and signals and, if you have enabled these signals, this Site will prevent our third party advertising partners (such as social media companies and ad networks) from continuing to collect information about you and your activity on our Site through the use of third party cookies, tracking pixels, and other Tools. However, even with these signals enabled, we will continue to collect other information about you and your activity through the use of cookies, tracking pixels, and other Tools as described elsewhere in this Policy. For information about DNT, visit www.allaboutdnt.org.

Consequences of Not Providing Personal Information. You are not required to provide all personal information identified in this Policy to use our Site or to interact with us offline, but certain functionality will not be available if you do not provide personal information. For example, if you do not provide personal information, we may not be able to respond to your request, perform a transaction with you, or provide you with marketing that we believe you would find valuable.
Security
No security program is impenetrable, and criminals have proven adept at circumventing widely adopted security safeguards, so we cannot always guarantee the security of personal information. There are inherent risks in shopping online.
Any user or third party accessing our Site or services is responsible for its own use of the Site and the services. We are not responsible for any third party's actions or its security controls with respect to information that third parties may collect or process via the website, services, or otherwise.
Be Aware of "Phishing." "Phishing" is a scam designed to steal your personal information. If you receive an email that looks like it is us asking you for your personal information, do not reply to it. We will not request your password, user name, credit card information, or other personal information through email.
Other Websites
The Site may contain links to websites of third parties that: (1) are not affiliated with us; (2) are outside our control; or (3) are not covered by this Policy, including without limitation sites operated by our distributors and/or licensees in foreign countries which may not guarantee the same level of protection of personal information ("Third-Party Websites"). Links provided to Third-Party Websites on the Site are provided to you only as a convenience, and the inclusion of any link does not imply reliability or endorsement by us of the content of any such Third-Party Websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of Third-Party Websites, which may collect and use information from you in a manner different than how we do so; accordingly, once you leave the Wolverine platform, the use of such Third-Party Websites is entirely at your own risk. For relevant information, you should review the privacy statements or policies of any Third-Party Websites before using them. Other parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use our Site or services.
