We use technologies to improve our website and market our website.

Our website may use personalized advertising (also know as interested-based advertising) features such as:

  • remarketing
  • affinity audiences

to advertise on third-party websites (including Google and other networks and social media channels) to previous visitors to our site. It could mean that we advertise to previous visitors or to previous visitors who haven’t completed a task on our site. For example, visitors starting the checkout process for purchasing a product, but not completing the transaction. The previous visitor may then see one of our ads on the Google search results page or on a site in the Google Display Network. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to our website. Any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and Google’s privacy policy. We do not collect personally identifiable information.

Similarly, apps that partner with Google can send us information such as the name of the app and an identifier that helps us to determine which ads we've served to other apps on your device, although it does not collect personally identifiable information.

      Mobile Terms of Service

      The 4-Legger mobile message service (the "Service") is operated by 4-Legger (“4-Legger”, “we”, or “us”). Your use of the Service constitutes your agreement to these terms and conditions (“Mobile Terms”). We may modify or cancel the Service or any of its features without notice. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may also modify these Mobile Terms at any time and your continued use of the Service following the effective date of any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of such changes.

      By consenting to 4-Legger’s SMS/text messaging service, you agree to receive recurring SMS/text messages from and on behalf of 4-Legger through your wireless provider to the mobile number you provided, even if your mobile number is registered on any state or federal Do Not Call list.

Service-related messages may include updates, alerts, and information (e.g., order updates, account alerts, etc.). Promotional messages may include promotions, specials, and other marketing offers (e.g., cart reminders).

      You understand that you do not have to sign up for this program in order to make any purchases, and your consent is not a condition of any purchase with 4-Legger. Your participation in this program is completely voluntary.
