“Cookies” are small pieces of information sent by a web server to a web browser that enable the server to collect information from the browser. Highestprice.com, LLC uses cookies for a number of purposes, such as to simplify the login process for registered users, help ensure the security and authenticity of registered users, target advertising, and enable traffic monitoring.
We use both session cookies and persistent cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site. A session cookie expires when you close your browser. Persistent cookies enable us to (i) know when you are logged in and to provide content to you based on your preferences, such as listings that match saved searches or are similar to previously-saved listings; (ii) track user activity such as pages viewed and match user activity to session data to better understand your preferences; and (iii) share information with third-party vendors on your preferences for the sole purpose of fulfilling the Services and providing you the most relevant user experience. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time.
You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser’s “help” file. Most browsers allow you to turn off the cookie function. Removing persistent cookies will restrict the Highestprice.com, LLC Services you can use, such as receiving targeted recommendations and alerts.
We also use tracking pixels and third-party cookies on our sites from other third-party vendors. Tracking pixels are code snippets added to a website in order to gather information about a user’s browsing behavior.

Some states require us to let you know how we respond to web browser Do Not Track (DNT) signals. Please note that our Websites do not recognize or respond to any signal which your browser might transmit through the so-called “Do Not Track” feature your browser might have.
