¤ Cookies: Cookies "Cookies" are
small data files that are transferred from some websites to a visitor's
hard drive while that visitor is browsing the website. Cookies are
used primarily for record-keeping purposes at many websites, for example,
saving passwords and personal preferences of a visitor regarding the use
of a particular website. Cookies do not spy on you or otherwise invade
your privacy, and they cannot invade your hard drive and steal information. Rather,
cookies simply help you navigate a website as easily as possible. Many
consider the use of cookies to be an industry standard. We
do not use cookies to collect personal information on you, but we only
use them to allow us to see which parts of our site you have visited so
that we can better serve you in future visits to the site and to track
your purchases.
Your web browser might currently accept cookies. However,
