Use of Cookies

The Albiware website may use “cookies” to help 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 Albiware pages, or register with the Albiware site or services, a cookie helps Albiware to recall your specific information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on.  When you return to the same Albiware site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Albiware 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 settings to decline cookies if you so prefer.  If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Albiware services or websites you visit.

When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”) protocol.

We strive to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or alteration of your personal information.  Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, you acknowledge that:

(a) There are security and privacy limitations inherent to the Internet which are beyond our control; and
