Use of Cookies

We use “cookies” on our websites to personalize and enhance your website visits. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard drive by our web server. Cookies are uniquely assigned to a computer, and your computer will only allow our web servers to access our cookies. The most important thing to understand about cookies is that they pose no danger to you. They cannot be used to collect secret information about you or your computer or to provide information about you to other companies.

Cookies provide a convenience by saving you time on subsequent visits and personalizing your web experience. For example, when you return to our website, cookies enable us to remember information from prior visits such as items left in your shopping cart. Cookies may save data such as name, password, username, shopping cart data, screen preferences, pages viewed, and ads clicked. Credit card information is never saved in cookies.

You have the right to delete cookies placed on your hard drive, which will erase the data automatically saved during your visit. However, that will mean that our sites will not recognize you when you return. You may also modify your web browser to notify you before accepting cookies, or to decline all cookies. We strongly suggest that you accept cookies from us, since they help provide you a more seamless, personalized, and effective web browsing experience and keep our site compelling and informative.

Use of Data Collected

Personal data collected may be used for editorial and feedback purposes, marketing and promotional purposes, statistical analysis of users’ behavior, product development, content and layout improvement, and to inform advertisers and business partners as to how many visitors have seen or clicked on their advertisements. Information may also be made available to contractors as needed for maintenance of our systems / infrastructure.

Aggregate data on visitors’ home servers may be used for internal purposes or provided to third parties. Individually identifying information, such as names, postal and e-mail addresses, phone numbers and other personal information which visitors voluntarily provide may be added to our databases and used for future calls and mailings regarding site updates, new products and services, upcoming events and the status of orders placed online. We set default preference areas for our customers and website visitors based on transactional and profile information; you can change these preference settings at any time by visiting our preferences form. Please allow up to 48 hours for changes to take effect.

Using your Credit Card to Buy Products Online

Our websites do not retain, make public, sell, or distribute customers’ credit card information, and it is never saved in your cookies. Our websites use encryption to safeguard credit card transactions. In the unlikely event that we are responsible for a loss through credit card fraud we will absorb the first $50 of the loss, which is the limit of an individual’s personal liability.

We do not share email addresses collected on The Learning Network applications with outside companies.
