Can't cookies be used to violate customers' privacy?
We strongly believe in protecting the privacy and security of our customers. We never
store any sensitive information in any cookie. The only information we store is a unique
user ID - an alphanumeric string that contains no actual information about you. At no time
do we store your e-mail address, physical address, credit card number, or name in any
cookie.
Likewise, we do not even store your credit card number within our internal Web site
systems. We request that you supply us with your credit card number each time you wish to
complete a transaction. While some Web sites store your card number for your convenience,
we feel it provides you greater security to purge this information when each transaction
is complete.
Don't cookies take up a lot of hard drive space?
A cookie is just a small text file, and takes up very little disk space. Cookies
usually range in size from 60 to 300 bytes. Our cookies average about 100 bytes. Even if
you surf the Internet very extensively and collect many cookies, they usually only occupy
a very small fraction of your total available disk space.
Still don't like cookies?
We understand and respect your preferences. You can still take advantage of most of the
features and benefits of our Web site. However, you will not be able to place items in
your shopping cart, proceed through checkout and place an order. The good news is that we
are still available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to assist you by telephone. One of
our helpful account managers will be happy to speak with you if you have any questions or
wish to place an order. |
