ACCESSING WEB ACCOUNT
INFORMATION
SubmarinaŽ, Inc./www.submarina.com
Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons – sometimes
also called single-pixel gifs – that allow SubmarinaŽ, Inc. to count
users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services.
SubmarinaŽ, Inc. may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages
or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened
and acted upon.
Some of these Web
beacons may be placed by third party service providers to help determine

These Web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a
persistent cookie on your computer. This allows the service provider to
recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and
compile anonymous information in relation to those page views, which in
turn enables us and our service providers to learn which advertisements
and emails bring you to our website and how you use the site.
SubmarinaŽ, Inc. prohibits Web beacons from being used to collect or
access your personal information.
