Crescerance gathers information about all users collectively, such as what areas users visit most frequently and what services users access most often. Crescerance automatically logs IP addresses, session sources, and other data which tracks users’ access to the Services. These logs are used to analyze the aggregate trends that they reveal about our customers for sales and marketing purposes. This information is primarily used to provide users of the Services with an enhanced online experience. Crescerance may disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe the Services to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes.

Crescerance requests personal information for purposes such as the provision of customer service and support, billing, network management, customer surveys, sales management, support, newsletter subscriptions, user group memberships, and other exchanges of information.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Crescerance pages, or register with Crescerance site or services, a cookie helps Crescerance to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Crescerance website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Crescerance features that you customized. We place cookies on website visitors’ computers to collect aggregate information for site traffic analysis, such as the number of visitors and the number of pages viewed.

If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Crescerance services or websites you visit.
