Use of Cookies
The Computer Co-Op/CornerNET 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 Computer
Co-Op/CornerNET pages, or register with Computer Co-Op/CornerNET
site or services, a cookie helps Computer Co-Op/CornerNET 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 Computer Co-Op/CornerNET
Web site, the information you previously provided can be
retrieved, so you can easily use the Computer Co-Op/CornerNET
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
Computer Co-Op/CornerNET services or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
Computer Co-Op/CornerNET secures your personal information
from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Computer Co-Op/CornerNET
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.

Computer Co-Op/CornerNET will occasionally update this
Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer
feedback. Computer Co-Op/CornerNET encourages you to
periodically review this Statement to be informed of how
