How do we protect visitor information?
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal

only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such
systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. When you place orders
or access your personal information, we offer the use of a secure server. All
sensitive/credit information you supply is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
technology and then encrypted into our databases to be only accessed as stated above.
Do we use “cookies”?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your
computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site’s or
service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember
certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us remember and process the
items in your shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand your preferences
based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with
improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site
traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the
future.
We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding
our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information
collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or
you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser (like Netscape
Navigator or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your
browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies
off, you won’t have access to many features that make your site experience more
efficient and some of our services will not function properly. However, you can still
place orders over the telephone by contacting customer service.
Do we disclose the information we collect to outside parties?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable
information unless we provide you with advance notice, except as described below.
The term “outside parties” does not include website hosting partners and other parties
who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business or servicing you, so
long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release
your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce
our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property or safety.
However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties
for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
