What are Cookies?

When you return to our websites, the server retrieves the information from the cookies stored on your computer to tailor your experience.
We use cookies and similar technologies to help provide our services, advertise to you, and analyze how you use our services and whether advertisements are being viewed. We also allow third parties to use tracking technologies for similar purposes.
Cookies are safe to be stored on your computer and almost all web browsers automatically accept cookies. You can always choose not to accept cookies by changing your browser settings to reject cookies automatically or to approve each cookie individually, but this may limit the available functions. The Help menu on the menu bar of most browsers also provides information on how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to delete old cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable cookies altogether. For additional information on how to control cookies, please see the Cookie Control section below.
We want to ensure you are fully aware of the cookies we use and what they do on our websites. Our cookies serve various purposes, but are generally either necessary or essential to the functioning of our sites, services, applications, tools, or messaging, help us improve performance, provide additional functionality, or help us serve relevant and targeted advertisements.
More Specifically Cookies can be categorized by the purpose they serve (e.g., strictly necessary) and by whether they are considered a “First Party Cookie” or “Third Party Cookie,” which describes who manages and controls the cookie and any information it collects.
First Party Cookies These are cookies controlled and managed by The Bomb Enterprises Inc. This means that we also have access to any data collected or stored. We only use First Party Cookies that are either strictly necessary or essential.
Third Party Cookies These are cookies controlled and managed by a third party, and they place these cookies on your device when you visit our site. Data collected, stored, or used by the cookie is only accessible by the third party. We may use Third Party Cookies for each of the purposes listed below. Some may collect personally identifiable information (such as IP addresses). Some collect data in anonymized form and aggregate statistics (such as performance cookies).
Strictly Necessary or Essential Cookies “Strictly necessary” or “essential” cookies let you move around the website and use essential features like secure areas and shopping baskets. Without these technologies, services you have asked for cannot be provided. These technologies do not gather any information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you’ve been on the internet. Accepting these technologies is a condition of using our sites, services, applications, tools, or messaging.
Functional Cookies “Functional” cookies are used to provide services or remember settings to improve your visit. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we’ve added to our pages.
Performance Cookies “Performance” cookies do not collect any information that could identify you and are only used to help us improve how our website works, understand what interests our users, and measure the effectiveness of our content. They do this by gathering statistical information, for instance, about page visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. This also helps us know which pages are the most and least popular and lets us understand how visitors move around the site. The statistical data collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous.
Targeting or Advertising Cookies “Targeting” cookies may be set through our sites, applications, or tools by third party advertising partners. This is to deliver content, including product-related advertisements, relevant to your specific interests on our sites or third-party sites. These companies may use cookies to build a profile of your interests so that relevant adverts can be displayed on other sites. The profiles are built based on a unique identifier assigned to the cookie and linked to your browser and internet device.
