evolving sources of information in the future.
(a) Cookies:
"Cookies" are a feature on your browser software. If enabled, we may
write cookies that may store small amounts of data on your computer
about your visit to any of the pages of this Site. Cookies assist us
in tracking which of our features appeal the most to you and what
content you may have viewed on past visits. When you visit this site
again, cookies can enable us to customize our content according to
your preferences. We may use cookies to: keep track of the number of
return visits to this site; accumulate and report aggregate,
statistical information on website usage; deliver specific content to
you based on your interests or past viewing history; save your
password for ease of access to our Site. You can disable cookies,
although the Site may not function properly for you. Your browser
preferences can be modified to accept or reject all cookies, or
request a notification when a cookie is set. You may read more about
cookies at
http://cookiecentral.com. In
order to use all of the features and functionality of Company's
websites, you need to accept cookies.
(b) Web Beacons:
A web beacon is a programming code that can be used to display an
image on a web page, but can also be used to transfer your unique user
identification to a database and associate you with previously
acquired information about an individual in a database. This allows
Company to track certain websites you visit. Web beacons are used to
track online behavioral habits for marketing purposes to determine
products or services you may be interested in. In addition to using
web beacons on web pages, Company also uses web beacons in email
messages sent to individuals listed in Company's database.
(c) IP Addresses:
Company automatically tracks certain information based upon your
behavior on the site. We may use this information to do internal
research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior to better
understand, protect and serve you and our community. This information
may include the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on
the site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on the
site or not), your computer browser information, and your IP address.
Your Internet Protocol ("IP") is a unique Internet "address" which is
assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider ("ISP"). For local
area network ("LAN"), DSL, or cable modem users, an IP address may be
permanently assigned to a particular computer. IP addresses are
automatically logged by Web servers, collecting information about a
user's traffic patterns. While the IP address does not identify an
individual by name, it may, with the cooperation of the ISP, be used
to locate and identify an individual using the Web. Your IP address
can, however, reveal what geographic area you are connecting from, or
which ISP you are using. Finally, other websites you visit have IP
addresses, and we may collect the IP addresses of those websites and
their pages.
(d) Computer Profiles:
Company may also collect and accumulate other anonymous data which
will help us understand and analyze the Internet experience of our
visitors. For instance, Company may accumulate visitor data relating
to referring domain names, the type of browsers used, operating system
software, screen resolutions, color capabilities, browser plug-ins,
language settings, cookie preferences, search engine keywords and
JavaScript enablement. When you provide us with Personal
Identification Information, we are able to use such visitor data to
identify you.
(e) Data Analysis:
Data Analysis technology may be employed from time to time if used by
a Client of Company.
(f) Updates:
The use of technology on the Internet, including cookies and web
beacons, is rapidly developing. As a result, Company strongly
encourages individuals to revisit this policy for any updates
regarding its use of new technology.
(g) Other:
Overall, cookies help provide you with a better website by enabling us
to monitor cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to
decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full
advantage of the website. You can also delete cookies that have
already been sent. You may wish to visit www.aboutcookies.org, which
contains comprehensive information on how to do this on a wised
variety of desktop browsers.
1.6 No Information Collected from Children:
Company will never knowingly collect any personal information about
children under the age of 13. If Company obtains actual knowledge that
it has collected personal information about a child under the age of
13, that information will be immediately deleted from its database.
Because it does not collect such information, Company has no such
information to use or to disclose to third parties. Company has
designed this policy in order to comply with the Children's Online
Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA").

Company may, in certain instances, collect credit card numbers and
related information when an individual places an order from Company.
When the credit card information is submitted to Company, such
