Cookies were
originally designed to help a Website distinguish a user's
browser as a previous visitor and thus save and remember any
preferences that may have been set while the user was browsing
the site. A cookie is a small string of text that a Website can
send to your browser. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data
from your hard drive, pass on computer viruses, or capture your
E-mail address. Currently, Websites use cookies to enhance the
user's visit; in general, cookies can securely store a user's ID
and password, personalize home pages, identify which parts of a
site have been visited or keep track of selections in an
"order form."
If
you are just browsing wimbledonwine.com, a cookie identifies
only your browser. If you become a registered user on a
Wimbledon Wine Company Website, we use cookies so that we can
provide customized information that we believe will be of value
to you based on preferences indicated.
We
use cookies to keep track of online orders. If you are a Wine
Club member and delete your cookie we will not be able to track
items in your shopping cart to offer the 20% discount until the
cookie has been reset. If you receive a message saying,
"We're sorry, our cookie on your computer has been
deleted", please e-mail us at info@wimbledonwine.com
and we will send you an ID code to reactive it.
It
is possible to set your browser to inform you when a cookie is
being placed -- this way, you have the opportunity to decide
whether to accept the cookie. If you are just browsing our site
and are not a registered user, you do not have to accept a
cookie and you may still continue utilizing the site. However,
if you are visiting a site where you will be accessing your
confidential account information (such as Checking Your Bill),
you must accept that site's cookies as they are essential for
site administration and security. By accepting a cookie, keep in
mind that your choice to decline E-mail offers remains
unaffected. Here is how to set your cookie preferences:
