you about your order. In general, we will try to contact you first by email and only if
that fails, or if time is critical, will we try to contact you by phone. We share this

parties that are involved in the processing of your order. For example, the financial
institution that issued your credit card and the shipping carrier that delivers your

Cookies (we're not sure how they got this gastronomic name) are
pieces of information that a web site stores in your computer. Temporary cookies only last
as long as your browser is running. Persistent cookies are stored on your hard disk (they
take up very little space). Sites often use cookies to identify repeat visitors and offer
them personalized service.

When you are connected to the Internet, your computer has a unique
Internet ID called an IP address. Most people that connect through a dial-up service, such
as America Online, get a different IP address each time they login. Others might have a
permanently assigned IP address, called a static IP address. It is difficult or impossible
for a web site to collect personal information about you (i.e., your name, email address,
etc.) from your IP address alone, though a static IP address makes this easier.

A unique ID assigned to each shopper that visits an online store
with a shopping basket system. Each store you visit will assign you a different ID. Many
stores use a
cookie to save your
Shopper ID for re-use when you return to that same store. Some shoppers find this
convenient and others find it objectionable.

A method by which information transmitted across the Internet is
scrambled to the point where it's virtually indecipherable by anyone who should intercept
the data before it reaches its destination. Most all reputable online stores make use of
SSL encryption to request credit card information and other sensitive data from their
customers. Web pages where SSL encryption is activated are typically identified by a lock
or key symbol displayed somewhere in your browser. Refer to your browser's documentation
for the specific symbol and location.
