PRIVACY POLICY

This is how we handle information we learn about you from your visit to our website. We do not share or sell any information to third parties. The information we receive depends on what you do when visiting our site. If you visit our site to read or download information, we collect and store only the following information about you: the name of the domain and host through which you access the Internet (for example, aol.com if you are connecting from an America Online account), and the date and time you access our site. We use this information to measure the number of visitors to different sections of our site, so that we can make our site more useful to our visitors. We typically delete this information after two months. If you make a request for samples, we collect and store the personally identifiable information needed to fulfill your request (typically your name, mailing address, and email address). “Cookies” are files or pieces of information sent to your browser when you visit a website, and you will find them at most sites. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you would prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent so that you can flush them from your browser if you object to their presence. There are two types of cookies: persistent and non-persistent. Persistent cookies are stored on the hard drive of your computer, and remain there until they expire or you delete them. They are used to provide tailored information to a return visitor to the site by remembering what pages the visitor has viewed previously. We do not use persistent cookies on our website. Non-persistent cookies are used during a particular session, but are not stored on your computer’s hard drive when the session is over. The information is stored only temporarily and is used primarily for technical reasons such as ease of navigation, authentication of passwords, placing samples in a shopping cart, and so on. We do use non-persistent cookies to enhance your visit to our website; these cookies disappear automatically as soon as you end your session. You may choose to send personally-identifying information to other sites you have linked to through our site. We do not control the collection or use of this information, and make no representations about the privacy policies of other sites.
