COOKIES, WEB BEACONS, AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
Cookies To enhance your experience with DESIGNS BY LOURNI, we may use "Cookies." Cookies are small data files placed in your Device’s browser when you visit a Community Site. Cookies may be used for a number of purposes, such as tracking usage patterns, measuring the effectiveness of advertising, to help serve advertisements, limiting multiple responses and registrations, and as part of a verification or screening process. Additionally, accepting Cookies may allow you, among other things, to personalize your experience on DESIGNS BY LOURNI.
Web Beacons and Similar Technologies Community Sites and our e-mail messages also may contain a small graphic image called a web beacon ("Beacon," also called a "web bug", "clear pixel" or "clear GIF"). A Beacon allows the party that set it to monitor and collect certain limited information about the viewer of the web page or e-mail (such as browser type, whether the viewer's Device has Flash installed, the existence of Cookies previously set by the computer serving the web beacon, the viewer's IP Address, the time when the Beacon was viewed, and the URL of the page the Beacon comes from). Beacons typically are very small (generally 1-by-1 pixel) and invisible to the user. However, any electronic image viewed as part of a web page or e-mail, including an advertisement or HTML content, can act as a Beacon. We may use beacons or similar technologies for various purposes including, for example, to count visitors to our web pages or to monitor how our users navigate our Site, and we may include Beacons or similar technologies in e-mails in order to count how many e-mails (or particular articles, links, etc.) that we sent were actually opened.
Opting Out If you do not wish to allow for use of Cookies, you may generally opt-out of providing this information by setting your browser to reject Cookies or by controlling the preferences in third-party applications such as Norton Internet Security. If you do not wish for Beacons to track your specific activity, you may set your browser to reject cookies, adjust your e-mail settings from HTML to text-only display, and control the preferences in third-party applications such as Norton Internet Security. However, please be aware that some areas of DESIGNS BY LOURNI may not provide you with an acceptable user experience if you disable the use of Cookies. Also note that, even with Cookies disabled, Beacons may still record an anonymous visit from your IP Address.
THIRD-PARTY ADVERTISERS, CONTENT PROVIDERS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS
When you visit DESIGNS BY LOURNI, Advertisers may serve certain content, including, for example, advertisements.
Advertisers also may set their own Cookies, Beacons, or other tracking technologies to identify your preferences, recognize you (if you have previously had contact with the Advertisers), and determine which web site their advertisement was displayed and whether or not you clicked it. Third-party content providers and service providers also may use tracking technologies to determine how many times you have viewed their content or used their services. This information also helps advertising partners deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be most relevant to you. We do not have access to or control the use of tracking technologies by third parties, what information they collect, or how they use it. Third parties’ use of tracking technologies is subject to their own privacy policies. Therefore, we encourage you to investigate and ask questions directly of them in this regard.

My wish for my family and I for 2021 is that we will all find ourselves on the other side of this pandemic without losing a single soul and that we may once again be able to gather as a family, be able to hug and kiss and to realize that life is fleeting and should not be spent on trivial things or situations.
The theme for 2021 should be love and togetherness!
