Cookies

A cookie is a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you've visited. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. AnnMcIndoo.com uses cookies to track the items you add to your shopping cart and to enforce security rules regarding software that you download.

Use of the information

AnnMcIndoo.com uses any information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our users. We send out electronic announcements to subscribers on a regular schedule (daily or weekly, depending on the newsletter) and occasionally send out special editions when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing. AnnMcIndoo.com never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers or partners. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. AnnMcIndoo.com does not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.
