How To Enable Cookies in Your Web Browser
What are
cookies? A cookie is a small file created by
a website to store information. The cookie is stored on your computer. Cookies
are normally helpful and harmless; it's rare to encounter a bad cookie. When
you visit a website that uses cookies, the site asks your web browser to put
the cookies on your computer - our site does this to so that it can identify
your computer as you make your purchases. The cookies tell the site who you
are, so the site can show you information that's appropriate for you. Cookies
can store information that identifies you, such as your name and email
address, however our website does not do this, we store no information about
you or your computer - we simply place a unique ID number so we can identify
your ownshopping cart. A website has access only to the information you provide.
For example, a website cannot determine your email address unless you provide
it. A website cannot gain access to other information on your computer.
Are
cookies a security threat? No, not really, cookies
cannot access your system or retrieve information that isn't already broadcast
by your web browser. Cookies cannot access your hard drive or send information
about your computer system. Cookies are simply a data storage system. We take
your privacy very seriously, and have a well established Privacy Policy. Read
more about how your privacy and security is important to us at our Privacy
Policy page.
