Cookies
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an
anonymous unique identifier, that is sent to your browser
from a web site's computers and stored on your computer's
hard drive.
Each web site can send its own cookie to your browser if your
browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy)
your browser only permits a web site to access the cookies
it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by
other sites.
Choices about Cookies
You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject
all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set. (Each browser
is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser
to learn how to change your cookie preferences.)
If you reject all cookies, you will not be able to use Preferred
products or services that require you to "sign in,"
and you may not be able to take full advantage of all offerings.
However, many Preferred products and services do not require
that you accept cookies.
Preferred's Practices Regarding
Cookies
Preferred uses its own cookies for a number of purposes, including
to:
Access your information when you "sign in," so
that we can provide you with customized content, such as the
Preferred Extranet.
Keep track of preferences you specify while you are using
Preferred 's services.
Display the most appropriate advertising banners, based
on your interests and activity on Preferred.
Assist Preferred in processing the items in your shopping
cart.
Estimate and report our total audience size and traffic.
Conduct research to improve Preferred 's content and services.
Require you to re-enter your Preferred password after a certain
period of time has elapsed to protect you against others
accidentally accessing your account contents.
Other Companies' Cookies
on Preferred
Please note that Preferred allows other companies that are
presenting advertisements or researching users' response to
advertisements on some of our pages to set and access their
cookies on your computer.
Advertisers' and researchers' use of cookies is subject to
their own privacy policies, not the Preferred Privacy Policy.
