Use of Cookies
The Canadian Marathon Stories Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize 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 personalize Canadian Marathon Stories pages, or
register with Canadian Marathon Stories site or services, a cookie helps
Canadian Marathon Stories 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
Canadian Marathon Stories Web site, the information you previously provided can be
retrieved, so you can easily use the Canadian Marathon Stories features that you
customized.
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
Canadian Marathon Stories services or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
Canadian Marathon Stories secures your personal information from
unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Canadian Marathon Stories secures the
personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a
controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or
disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is
transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption,
such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Statement
Canadian Marathon Stories will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect
company and customer feedback. Canadian Marathon Stories encourages you to periodically
