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