A device identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your device when you access a web site or its servers, and our computers identify your device by its device identifier. We may use a device identifier to, among other things, administer the sites, help diagnose problems with our servers, analyze trends, track users’ web page movements, help identify you and your shopping cart, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
