EJD uses cookies, which are small data files created by a web server and stored by your browser. We also use pixel tags, which are tiny graphic images, also known as web beacons, action tags, or transparent GIF files. Some cookies and pixel tags permit the Services to function properly. For example, they help us to identify account holders and to optimize the log-in, account management, and shopping experience. They also allow us to hold selections in a shopping cart when a user leaves without checking out. In addition, we may use cookies and other technologies to store your preferences, to advertise to you, and provide a personalized experience on the Services. Sharing through cookies may be deemed a sale or sharing under some privacy laws. To opt-out, please see Additional Information for California Business and the further information provided below.

If you do not want cookies to be dropped on your device, you can adjust the setting of your Internet browser to reject the setting of all or some cookies and to alert you when a cookie is placed on your device. For further information about how to do so, please refer to your browser ‘help’, ‘tool’, or ‘edit’ section or see www.allaboutcookies.org . Please note that if you use your browser settings to block all cookies, including strictly necessary cookies, you may not be able to access or use all or parts of the functionalities of the EJD websites.

  • Analytics: EJD may also use cookies and other technologies to implement analytics tools, including, but not limited to, Google Analytics, that help us understand how the Services are performing, how you engage with the Services, and how you interact with our advertisements and communications. The information we collect using Google Analytics, which may be shared with Google, doesn’t include names or contact information, but may include IP addresses, and activity on the Services. You can opt-out of having your site activity available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on . The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript that is running on websites from sharing information with Google Analytics about visit activity.
Using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on will not prevent EJD from using other tools to measure site analytics. It does not prevent data from being sent to the website itself or in other ways to web analytics services.
  • Session recording: We may use session recording software in order to better understand our users’ needs and to optimize the Services and experience. Please visit https://www.datadoghq.com/legal/privacy/#your-choices.
  • Interest-based advertising: We and our advertising vendors may use online technologies, including cookies and pixel tags, to collect personal information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites and platforms. These technologies enable us or our vendors, including Google, to recognize a unique cookie or pixel tag placed by us or our vendors when you accessed the Services or by an entity when you visited a non-affiliated website or platform. This personal information is used to manage advertising effectiveness and provide you with online advertisements, including advertisements on unaffiliated websites and platforms, more likely to be of interest to you. These technologies also allow us to learn which advertisements bring users to our Services and to manage affiliate advertising.

To learn more about interest-based advertising (often referred to as online behavioral advertising or targeted advertising) and how to manage your preferences for interest-based ads, please visit the following third-party websites:

Please note that these opt-out mechanisms are browser and device specific. If you wish to opt-out of interest-based advertising across all browsers and devices, you need to make your choices in each browser and device you use. Please consult your device’s user guide or visit the Google Play Support Center or the Apple Support Center for more information on managing interest-based advertisements in a mobile environment. Please be aware that if you opt out of receiving interest-based advertising, you will still be served with advertisements, but they will no longer be targeted to your interests.

Verification of Requests

For your protection, we may require you to log into your account to verify your identity or make requests. In order to process requests to know, delete or correct, we require first name, last name, zip code, email, or phone number, and we may ask for additional information such as recent purchases or authenticated interactions with us depending on the nature of the request and the need to prevent fraud and protect security. The information provided in the request will be compared to the data Ace maintains for that customer. If the information does not match, we will be unable to process the request.

Authorized Agent Requests

An authorized agent is a person or business who has authorization to request to know what personal information we have about you, to delete the personal information we have about you, to correct the personal information we have about you, or to opt-out of the sale/sharing of personal information on behalf of a California resident. Authorized agents use the same links described above to submit requests.

If you are submitting a request on behalf of another person, we require an authorization, and/or other documentation demonstrating your authority to submit this request. This can be a letter or other documentation signed by the California resident authorizing you to submit this request. Ace reserves the right to contact the consumer directly to verify their identity and ensure that they have elected an authorized agent.
