Cookies and How We Use Them
Cookies are small text files stored by your web browser when you use sites. You can control how sites use cookies by configuring your browser's privacy settings (please refer to your browser's help function to learn more about cookie controls). Note that if you disable cookies entirely, Rowley sites may not function properly.
Rowley Company and its family of brands, Finestra® Decorative Hardware and AriA® Metal Hardware, and the companies that help us run our business use cookies in several ways, such as:
- Authenticating and identifying you on our sites, so we can provide you the services you requested.
- Keeping track of information you have provided to us — for example, when you fill out forms or log in to your Rowley account.
- Remembering your preferences or where you left off in your use of a Rowley website.
- Measuring your use of Rowley sites so that we can improve them, tailor our sites to your likely interests, and conduct market research.
- Understanding your likely interests, so we can provide you more relevant Rowley ads and content on non-Rowley sites and in non-Rowley apps or extensions.
Technologies Similar to Cookies
Technically speaking, cookies are called “HTTP cookies.” There are other technologies that can be used for similar purposes, such as HTML5 Local Storage and local shared objects (LSOs). LSOs are used by the authors of files that are read by Adobe® Flash® Player and the sites hosting those files (learn more about Flash Player and LSOs). We may use HTML5 Local Storage, LSOs, and similar technologies for authenticating you, keeping track of information you have provided to us, and remembering your preferences (see bullet points above).
Web Beacons and Embedded Scripts
Web beacons and embedded scripts are other technologies that we use in our sites, as well as in some of our emails and ads.
Web beacons (or “tags”) are bits of programming code included in web pages, emails, and ads that notify Rowley (or the companies that help us run our business) when those web pages, emails, or ads have been viewed or clicked on.
Embedded scripts are bits of programming code included within some of our web pages that measure how you use those web pages, such as which links you click. We use this information to improve our sites, tailor our sites to your likely interests, and conduct market research. You may be able to turn off scripting functionality, such as JavaScript, within your browser (please refer to your browser's help function). Note that if you disable scripting functionality; some Rowley sites may not function properly.
