Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If customer does not want cookie information to be associated with customer`s visits to these pages, customer can set its browser to turn off cookies; however, Web beacon and other technologies will still detect visits to these pages, but the notices they generate cannot be associated with other non-identifiable cookie information and are disregarded
