A Cookie is text which we’re asking permission to store in your Browser’s directory. If you agree by configuring your Browser to accept Cookies, then your Browser stores the text in a file on your hard drive. On most Browsers, the default settings enable you to accept Cookies, so if you haven’t changed your defaults, you most likely don’t have to do anything to ensure that your Browser accepts Cookies.

The Cookie we ask your Browser to store contains an ID number to track your Shopping Cart contents. It does not store any personal information such as your e-mail address, street address or phone number. And, when you do send personal information to us, it goes nowhere else – we do not sell or give lists or customer data to outside sources.

We use the Cookie to keep track of the items in your Shopping Cart. This is a common practice on the Web … almost every site which offers online ordering uses Cookies. One important thing to remember – every Web site’s Cookies are unique, which means that the Cookie we send your Browser cannot be read or used by any other site.

Sorry, but if you disable Cookies on your Browser, you will not be able to purchase any products online.

The answer is “No”. Depending on the Browser you’re using, here are the general procedures to change your settings:

If you’re using Firefox (or Netscape 4 or higher) choose Edit and then Preferences on your top navigation bar. Once in Preferences, click on Advanced located on the tree. This will give you four options to regulate Cookies.

If you’re using Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 or higher choose View and then Internet Options on your top navigation bar. Once in Internet Options, click on the Advanced tab and scroll down to the yellow exclamation icon under Security. There you will be given three different options to regulate Cookies.
