What Are Cookies and Do We Use Them?
A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a Web site that is saved on your hard disk by your computer's browser. It holds information a site may need to interact with you and personalize your experience. At BigNTallApparel.Com, we use two kinds of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies.
Session cookies exist only for as long as your browser remains open. Once you exit your browser, they go away. We use session cookies to maintain information we need to have in order for you to shop at BigNTallApparel.Com. For example, your billing and shipping address information is held in a Session cookie so that you do not have to enter it again if you feel like amending your order. We also use Session cookies to help us display products to you that might be of interest, we do this by analysing trends in our web site traffic.
Persistent cookies, in contrast, last from visit to visit; they do not go away when you exit your browser. At BigNTallApparel.Com, we use very few persistent cookies as most information can be passed from page to page in a Session cookie. We do however store your Shopping Cart Number in a cookie so that you can return to your Shopping Cart within 30 days. This is useful for customers who want to use the cart as a wish list until they feel the time is right to purchase.
Cookies can be used by a Web site to recognize you. But that does not necessarily mean any personal information is stored in the cookies. At BigNTallApparel.Com, we store no personal information about you in the cookies. Anything you choose to tell us about yourself (such as your address and email address) is stored safely and separately on our secured servers. The data we control has security measures in place to protect us from loss, misuse and alteration of our information.
