Cookies make your browsing experience better by allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as checkout information or “backpack” selections). This means you don't have to re-enter this information each time you return to the site or browse from one page to another. We use the following cookies to optimize your experience on our Site and to provide our services.

Name	Function	Duration
cart	Remembers items users added to their “backpack” or “cart” to allow checkout.	Until deleted
rememberMe	Remembers user checkout / order information for a faster checkout (opted into)	Until deleted
ratings	Remembers products / “guides” the user has rated on the device to prevent spam	Until deleted

The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. All of the cookies we use are persistent and won't expire until they are deleted. You can control and manage cookies in various ways.
