A cookie is a small text file that is stored on the computer that enables us to remember you (for example, as a registered user) and your actions when you visit our website. This helps us remember your preferences and searches, improve your experience (for example, by keeping you logged in), customize the content according to your preferences and perform analytics, and assist with security and administrative functions. Cookies may be persistent or stored only during an individual session, as necessary. A pixel tag is a tiny graphic with a unique identifier embedded invisibly in an email and may be used to track whether the email has been opened and for other analytics.

Most modern browsers will allow you to disable some/all cookies for any website. However, this is not recommended, and doing so may interfere with the normal functioning of PEA. If you do not turn cookies off, please make sure you log out when you finish using a shared computer.

Children

PEA is not intended for children under 13 years of age. If you are less than 13 years old at the time of your first visit to PEA, you are prohibited from using the website further entirely on your own. You may do so under parental guidance. However, please note that we have no way of determining your age when you visit our website or whether you have parental supervision available or not. We do not intend to and do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. However, since we do not collect information on a user's birth date and proof of the same, there is no foolproof way for us to ensure the same.

The third-party payment service providers (payment gateways) are all validated as compliant with the payment card industry standard (generally referred to as PCI-compliant service providers).

In order to keep personal information secure, you must not share your password or other security information (for example, unique keys) of your PEA account with anyone.
