Use of Cookies
The Infant Cognition Group 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 Infant Cognition Group pages, or
register with Infant Cognition Group site or services, a cookie helps
Infant Cognition Group 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
Infant Cognition Group Web site, the information you previously provided can be
retrieved, so you can easily use the Infant Cognition Group 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
Infant Cognition Group services or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
Infant Cognition Group secures your personal information from
unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Infant Cognition Group 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
Infant Cognition Group will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect
company and customer feedback. Infant Cognition Group encourages you to periodically
review this Statement to be informed of how Infant Cognition Group is protecting
