Use of Cookies
The Glade Creek Web site use "cookies" to
help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text
file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies
cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.
Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a
web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide
a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie
is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page.
For example, if you personalize Glade Creek pages, or register with
Glade Creek site or services, a cookie helps Glade Creek to recall your
specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process
of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses,
shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Glade Creek
Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved,
so you can easily use the Glade Creek features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies.
Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually
modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If
you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience
the interactive features of the Glade Creek services or Web sites you
visit.
Security of your Personal Information
Glade Creek secures your personal information from
unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Glade Creek secures the personally
identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled,
secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.
When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted
to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption,
such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Statement
Glade Creek will occasionally update this Statement
of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. Glade Creek encourages
you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how
Glade Creek is protecting your information.
