Use of Cookies

 

The Site uses “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Company’s pages, or register with the Site or services, a cookie helps Company recall your specific information on later visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses and shipping addresses. When you return to the same Company page, the information you previously provided can be retrieved. That way, you can more easily use the Company features that you customized.
