Our Use of Cookies
Our Website uses "cookie" technology to make your visits more convenient for you. When you access our Website, we, or companies we hire to track how our Website is used, may place small data files called “cookies” on your computer. We and our service providers also use cookies to personalize your experience.
To enable many of the features available at our Website, we assign "cookies" to your Internet browser. A cookie is a small text file that contains a unique identification number stored on your computer. Cookies by themselves cannot be used to find out the identity of any user. This unique identification number automatically identifies your browser - but not you - to our computers whenever you interact with our Website. Only when you agree to provide personally identifiable information directly to our Website through our registration form will we be able to know anything about you other than the random number that our server computers originally assign to your browser
Cookies are an essential part of how the Internet works today, and allow server computers to recognize your computer's browser when you return. If you have ever visited a Web page that automatically provides personalized content without you having to "sign in," such as your own stock portfolio, this is almost certainly being accomplished with a cookie. Since cookies are only text files, they cannot "run" on your computer and have no ability to search your computer for other information, or transmit it to anyone
You may encounter cookies from third parties when using certain features on our Website that we do not control.
If you prefer, you can configure your web browser to reject all cookies, or to notify you when a cookie is set. However, rejecting all cookies may render you unable to use some features on our Website.
Our Commitment to Data Security
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer software, which encrypts information you input such as your name, address, credit card information and social security number. We reveal only the last four digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.
However, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions. Accordingly, while we work very hard to protect your privacy, we do not promise and you should not expect your personal information will always remain private. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.
