Once the user closes their browser the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site the user would not have to log-in with a password more than once per visit thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie they may still use our site. For registered users we use encrypted cookies that will expire after 3 months. If a site guest rejects the cookies when they traverse our site and clicks into an area that requires a log-in, we request they enter their password. If a guest elects to reject the use of cookies they will have to complete a full log-in request. The only drawback to this is the user rejecting cookies will be limited in their access to some areas of our site. Cookies also alloy us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance their experience each time they visit our site.

Security

This website takes every precaution to protect our users information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, their information is protected both online and offline.
When our registration order form asks users to enter sensitive information such as credit card numbers the information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just surfing. To learn more about SSL, follow this link [http://www.ssl.com/developers/faq/].
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information off-line. All of our users information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job for example, our billing clerk or a customer care representative are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees dealing with sensitive users information must use password protected screen savers when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password to regain access to user information.
