Cookies
- A cookie is a =
text
file stored on your computer's hard drive. Websites create cookies to record
information about your preferences, such as the items you add to your shopp=
ing
cart, and for security reasons. Most cookies expire after a certain time
period. The most popular browsers, such as Netscape Navigator and Internet
Explorer, can be set to give you the option of accepting or rejecting all
cookies.

ur

select "Prompt before accepting cookies." We suggest that you acc=
ept

lace

Use/Sharing

pping

.net
in order to provide you with the goods that you purchase on the website. We=
use

Personal Information is used internally =
in
connection with FlooringBroker.net’s business, including FlooringBrok=
er.net
promotional, marketing and advertising efforts, in a manner which does not
readily identify a user to any third party.
Credit
Card Security - The Internet i=
s a
vast network of computers. Because the data passes from computer to compute=
r,
some Internet shoppers worry that unauthorized persons may intercept the da=
ta
and gain access to credit card numbers, but shopping on a secure site is
actually safer than handing a credit card to a cashier. Taking the steps be=
low
will lower the chances of interception of your credit card number:
Limit you’re online shopping to
Internet merchants, such as FlooringBroker.net, with sites equipped with Se=
cure
Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL prevents unauthorized people from
intercepting your data.
Use a browser, such as Netscape Navigato=
r or
Internet Explorer that supports SSL. These browsers show a symbol in the st=
atus
bar, such as a key or lock, when you are on a site that uses SSL. Most banks
will cover the cost of fraud resulting from unauthorized use of your credit
card or may limit your liability. Credit card information collected by Floo=
ringBroker.net
is encrypted through Secure Sockets Layer before it is transmitted over the
Internet.
