How do we use "cookies"?

"Cookies" are small pieces of information stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. Cookies don't contain personally identifying information. Most web browsers are set up to accept cookies. You can usually change your browser settings to refuse cookies.

We use cookies to make your shopping experience at our site better, to let you navigate more rapidly, and to keep track of items when you shop online. We don't use cookies on our site to store your account information; this information is stored securely on the site's server. When you login at our Web site with your username and password (should those be applicable) or make a purchase, we'll assign you a secure session I.D. The server then passes your information to you through this secure session I.D. Also, we'll use cookies to monitor and maintain information about your use of our site.

We also use cookies to track the identity of the Web site you visited immediately before visiting our site. Otherwise, we won't track information about your use of other Web sites.

How do we make sure your information is secure?

We use the latest encryption technology (Secure Sockets Layer or SSL) to keep your personal information secure. When you order with us, your information is encrypted (or coded) using a secure server for maximum security. This coding makes it extremely difficult for anyone to reach your information as it moves through our ordering system.

To check the security of your computer, look at the lower left-hand corner of your browser window. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock, then the encryption technology is active and the server is secure. You can also check by looking at the URL line of your browser. When you access a secure server, the initial characters of the site address will be "https:".

To make sure that your information is secure, we recommend never giving your credit card or personal information in an email; email messages are not secure.

Certain browsers don't allow communication through secure servers. If this is the case, you won't be able to place an order online.

What if you link to another site?

Our Web site may provide links to other sites that aren't under our control. We can't be responsible for these linked Web sites, their content or for the actions of the providers of such sites. You should always review the privacy and security policies and terms of use for any Web sites you use.
