Web browser cookies

We do not use 'cookies' at all on this Site! As such, no User's personal or Credit / Debit Card details are saved to 'cookies' on their hard drive for record-keeping purposes or to track information about them.

However, when a User logs into their Customer Account on our Site, we use 'SESSION variables' on our Web Server to enable our Customer Account applications to check the User's login credentials to ensure they are logged into their Customer Account before granting them access to use our Customer Account applications. The 'SESSION variables' are time sensitive. If a certain amount of time has passed and a user has not been actively using our Site, then the User's 'SESSION variables' will be deleted, and the User will no longer have access to our Customer Account applications. In this situation, the User will need to log into their Customer Account again before having access to the Customer Account applications.
