A
brief description and use of Cookies.
Within
the Internet industry, cookies are described as small
files that your web browser places on your computer
when you visit a Web site A common occurrence is when
YOU, log into a portal-based Web site, where you've
already registered your username and password; the
site will remember you and it prevents you from having
to log in each time you visit a Web site and reentering
all of your information. Cookies are files containing
information about individual computers that can be
analyzed and used to track online interests and tastes.
The Caldwell Golf Co. may use such "cookie"
technology to obtain non-personal information from
you as an online visitor. Most browsers accept cookies
automatically, but can be configured not to accept
them or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Caldwell
Golf may also use so-called "web beacons"
to access the information contained in its cookies
within the network of the Caldwell Golf Web site and
interactive banner ads. The collection of this non-personal
information is done either through the "cookie"
technology or with "single-pixel gif" or
"web pings" also called ("web beacons)."
Neither collects any personal information. Web beacons
are site instrumentation that help us to determine,
for instance, whether a page has been viewed or not
and, if so, how many times. When you ask us to send
you information on a promotion or a newsletter, we
may use web beacons to establish how many of the emails
are actually opened. In general, any electronic image
viewed as part of a web page, including an ad banner,
can act as a web beacon.
Cookies help us in many ways to make your visit to
our Web site more enjoyable and meaningful to you.
Cookies are one of those needed technologies that
make the Internet and e-commerce so exciting and useful.
It involves actually "following" where you
go and what pages you view. This is possible because
the server finds the information on your computer,
checks with it's own information, and retrieves your
file if it matches up. You then have the ability to
shop online! The server needs to know this information
in order to work correctly, and the information is
nothing more than a string of letters and numbers
in a file on your hard drive, which uniquely identifies
you. Again, Cookies by themselves are not able to
extract any personal information from you. The "Caldwell's
Online Store", does use "cookies" to
insure secure online transactions. It is because of
"the cookie" that "shopping cart"
technology works.
Furthermore,
to insure privacy protections for our Guests, the
Caldwell Golf Co. allows advertising on our Sites
only from those companies that have their own privacy
policy. Once you've clicked on an advertisement and
have left the Caldwell Golf Site, our privacy policy
no longer applies. For your protection, you must read
the privacy policy of any and all advertisers to see
how your personal information will be handled on their
Sites. Thanks again for placing your trust in the
Caldwell Golf Co.
