Use of cookies
The Memories Warehouse website use "cookies" to help you personalise your
online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by
a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to
your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a
web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary
purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The
purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a
specific page. For example, if you personalise Memories Warehouse pages, or
register with Memories Warehouse site or services, a cookie helps
Memories Warehouse to recall your specific information on subsequent visits.
This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as
billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same
Memories Warehouse website, the information you previously provided can be
retrieved, so you can easily use the Memories Warehouse features that you
customised.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web
browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you
may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the
Memories Warehouse services or websites you visit.
