The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your LUGDEN experience. Here are the types of information we gather.

Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing your experience, improving our service, and communicating with you.

Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use “cookies,” and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses LUGDEN.com or advertisements and other content served by or on behalf of LUGDEN.com on other Web sites.

Mobile: When you download or use apps created by LUGDEN or our subsidiaries, we may receive information about your location and your mobile device, including a unique identifier for your device. We may use this information to provide you with location-based services, such as deal information, advertising, search results, and other personalized content. Most mobile devices allow you to turn off location services.

E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open or click on an e-mail from LUGDEN.com if your computer supports such capabilities.

We employ a software technology called Google Analytics, that helps us better manage content on our Website by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users.
