What is co-branding?
Co-branding is a way for a website to bring other websites with complementary content to the attention of its users. Co-branding is often executed by framing, which is a method of dividing browser windows. Framing allows us to display the Giant Party Store look and feel while allowing you to browse another site at the same time. It's important to note that while you may see the Giant Party Store frame, any information you provide to a co-branding partner is not covered by our privacy policy. Be sure to check the privacy statements of any third-party websites for information about their use of cookies and personal information they may collect independently.

What information do you collect on the Special Offers page?
