The definition of ‘cookies’…

Cookies are created by the websites you visit much like your laundry would create a claim check for you. You leave the laundry with your claim check and when you return, you pick up what you dropped off. Our cookies do not follow you from our website to other websites. They cannot gather information from your hard drive about who you are, where you live, how much money you make or what your credit card numbers are. If we, at some point, use cookies on the website, they will simply allow our website to recognize you when you return so that we can make your visit more personal and relevant to your interests. Cookies are stored in files your browser keeps and can be deleted by you at any time. If you don’t revisit a website for awhile, your browser may do the deleting for you. We may use cookies to understand which offers or invitations are meaningful to our visitors. If we are interested in more detailed information about you, we will always ask for it in an open way and will only share that information with your permission.
