Information collection and storage is dependent upon the pages of the website you visit, the activities you elect to participate in and the services you elect to receive. You can visit many pages on our website without providing any information. Other pages may prompt you to provide information, such as when you register to receive our newsletter and/or news updates, request product information through our contact form or contact us through our general contact email address.

"Cookies" are small files or records placed on your computer’s hard drive to distinguish you from other visitors to a website. The use of cookies is a standard practice among websites to collect or track information about your activities while using a particular website. Some websites use persistent cookies, which are placed on your computer and remain there until you delete them. Others use temporary cookies, which expire after some period of time or become overwritten by other data. The DXP site uses a temporary “session cookie,” which is created by the web server to identify each user session. This cookie disappears from your computer after you have closed your Internet browser.

Most people do not know that cookies are being placed on their computers when they visit a site because browsers are typically set to accept cookies. You can choose to have your browser warn you every time a cookie is being sent to you or you can turn off cookie placements. If you refuse cookies, you can still browse the DXP site. By refusing cookies, your overall Internet browsing experience may be affected.
