Use of Cookies
The Group 41 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 Group 41 pages, or register with Group 41 site or services,
a cookie helps Group 41 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 Group 41 Web site, the
information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily
use the Group 41 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 Group 41 services or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
Group 41 secures your personal information from unauthorized
access, use or disclosure. Group 41 secures the personally identifiable
information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure
environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.

as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol via a third party.
