Privacy Policy

Personal Information

Your privacy on the internet is extremely important to us.  Therefore, we believe you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding what we do with that information. This privacy policy discloses the information we gather, how we use it, and how you can correct or change it.

What We Do with Your Internet Provider (IP) Address:

We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website.  Your IP address is used to help identify you and your shopping cart and to gather broad demographic information.

We use a feature of your internet web browser called a “cookie.”  A “cookie” is a file that your web browser places on your computer’s hard drive.  When you initially log on, we create a “cookie” for your computer and then use it to track your clicks as you go through the website.  Approximately 95% of e-commerce websites use “cookies” to help make their shopping cart work.

Other Reasons for Cookies:

  • To keep track of items you put into your shopping cart.
  • To tell us whether you’ve visited us previously.
  • To help determine whether you came to us from a particular internet link or banner advertisement.
  • To remember who you are, allowing us to auto fill-in forms with information that you have previously entered.

There is no personal information stored within the cookie itself and the data included in the cookie is useful only to us.  We do not and cannot use cookies to retrieve personal information about you from your computer.  Cookies cannot be used by us to retrieve any personal information about you unless you have previously purchased from or contacted us using one of our online forms.

The “help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.  However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of our website’s most popular features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.
