"Cookies" are small pieces of information stored by your browser on

information. Most web browsers are set up to accept cookies; you can usually

We use cookies to make your shopping experience at our site better, to let you

cookies on our site to store your account information; this information is
stored securely on the site's server. When you login at the site with your

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.
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.
