We use “cookies” to enable our shopping cart and
checkout technology to work for you. Our cookie is an exceptionally
small file on your hard drive that contains a date and time

if you go into "security" (under tools menu and internet

manually adjust cookie acceptance without changing your basic
security setting. That way if you are a user who requires a
high level of security, you can manually choose to accept cookies
