7. What are cookies? How does 99 Blue Bananas use cookies on its site?
A "cookie" is a small data file that Web sites often store on your computer's hard drive when you visit their sites. A cookie may contain information, such as a unique user ID that Web sites use to track the pages of the Web sites you visit. We use cookies but do not store personally identifiable information in the cookie.
We use cookies in order to improve your online experience. Through our use of cookies, we also track and maintain the identity of the Web site you visited immediately prior to visiting our Web site. We do not otherwise track any information about your use of other Web sites.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you turn off cookies, though, some Web sites may not work properly. With your browser's cookies turned off, you should be aware that some other technologies may still detect visits to these pages, but the notices they generate should not be associated with other non-identifiable cookie information and be disregarded
8. How does 99 Blue Bananas protect and use customer information?
We are committed to protecting the security and integrity of our customer information, and we use procedures and technology designed for this purpose. For example:
a. We limit employee access to customer information to those who have a business reason to know this information.
b. We maintain policies and procedures covering the physical security of workplaces and records.
c. We use technological means (such as backup files, virus detection software, firewalls and other computer software and hardware) to protect against unauthorized access or alterations to customer data
9. Is my information secure?
We believe your data must be protected against loss and unauthorized access. We use procedural and technical safeguards such as firewalls to protect your personal information against loss or theft as well as unauthorized access and disclosure to protect your privacy. Of course, we cannot guarantee that a third party will never be able to defeat these, or any, security measures. If and when we ask for credit card data, it is transferred over a Secured Sockets Layer (SSL) line provided you are using a SSL enabled browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. This ensures that your information is encrypted as it travels through the Internet. This secure mode is enabled before any such information is transmitted from your computer. You will know that you are in "secure mode" when the padlock or key icon in the lower right-hand or left-hand corner of the computer screen appears in the locked position. In addition, when accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from "http" to "https"
