Cookies, Web Beacons, and how we use them


A "cookie" is a small data file stored by your web browser on your computer's hard drive. It allows us to recognize your computer (but not specifically who is using it) upon entering our site by associating the identification numbers in the cookie with other customer information you have provided us. That customer information is stored on our secured database. A "web beacon" or "pixel tag" or “clear gif” is typically a one-pixel image, used to pass information from your computer to a website.

We use cookies and web beacons to keep track of what you have in your shopping cart and to remember you when you return to this Website as well as to identify the pages you click on during your visit to our site and the name of the websites you visited immediately before clicking to this Website. We use this information to improve our site design, product assortments, customer service, and special promotions. You can, of course, disable cookies and web beacons on your computer by indicating this in the preferences or options menus in your browser. However, it is possible that some parts of this Website will not operate correctly if you disable cookies.

We may contract with third parties who may use cookies and web beacons and collect information on our behalf or provide services such as credit card processing, shipping, promotional services or data management. We call them our Customer Care Partners. These third parties are prohibited by our contract with them from sharing that information with anyone other than us or our other Customer Care Partners. However, we respect your right to choose whether to be included in such services.

To view the cookie list and manage your cookie settings, please go to your browser, in Setting > select Clear Cookies, then return to this Website. You will be alerted to “Accept the Cookies”, click on “Cookie Settings”.

Protecting children's privacy is important to us. This Website is a general audience site. We do not collect or maintain information from those we actually know are under 18 and have reason to believe or it can be shown that the minor does not have sufficient understanding to consent on their own behalf, and no part of this Web Site is targeted to attract anyone under 18.


We also do not send e-mail correspondence to anyone who tells us that they are under the age of 18 but does not have sufficient understanding to consent on their own behalf without their parent's consent. Our online sweepstakes are restricted to entrants who are at least 18 years old and have sufficient understanding to consent on their own behalf.


Minors under the age of 18 should always ask their parents or guardians for permission before providing any personal information to anyone online. We urge parents and guardians to participate in their children's online activities and use parental control or other web filtering technology to supervise children's access to this Website.


If we become aware (including through a request from your parent or legal guardian) that we have inadvertently received personal information that contradicts the above, we will delete such personal information from our records.

IP Addresses


We study visitor trends since we are interested in the successful dissemination of information through the websites. Our server creates log files of information such as the Internet Protocol (IP) address from your network, what pages were explored and the length of your visit. Analysis software is used to generate reports which help us to learn more about how we can enhance your experience with the websites and to provide a higher level of services. An IP address is a number designated for your computer by your Internet service provider to provide access to the Internet. Generally, an IP address will change every time your computer connects to the Internet. However, if you have a broadband connection, it is possible that the IP address that we may gather may contain information that may be deemed Personal Information. This could occur due to the fact that by using certain broadband connections, your IP address would not change and could be associated with your personal computer. We may use your IP address to gather aggregate information on use. But we will only be able to identify you individually if we have the means of linking the IP address to you as a particular user. This usually requires access to additional information which we do not seek.


Future changes


From time to time, Baccarat's policies will be reviewed and may be revised. Whilst Baccarat seeks to minimize changes to its policies, Baccarat reserves the right to change its Privacy Policies at any time by posting an updated version on this Website.
