Additionally, WOWprizes may use other new and evolving sources of information in the future (together, "Technology Information").

A cookie is a small amount of data stored on the hard drive of the individual's computer that allows WOWprizes to identify the individual with his or her corresponding data that resides in WOWprizes's database.

This allows WOWprizes to track certain websites an individual visits online. Web beacons are used to determine products or services an individual may be interested in, and to track online behavioral habits for marketing purposes. In addition to using web beacons on web pages, WOWprizes also uses web beacons in email messages sent to individuals listed in WOWprizes's database.
