What Information do we collect from you and how do we use it?

When you visit our web site, our server automatically recognizes your Internet Protocol address (IP address) or domain name. In order to enhance our web site, we may track the way our visitors and customers are using the site. Personal information, such as your name and e-mail address, is not included in this analysis. Unless you provide it, we do not collect or know your name or e-mail address. We do not follow your browsing path outside of www.cookswarehouse.com.

Cookies
In addition, like most other e-commerce web sites, our site uses "cookies" - small files placed temporarily in your Internet browser to keep track of your stay on our web site. The text in a cookie, by itself, only tells us that you have visited our site before. A cookie generated by our site contains no information about you and does not gather information from your computer about you. It contains only an alphanumeric ID that, for example, allows you to retrieve your shopping cart. In this way, the cookie lets you continue shopping where you left off with your last visit without losing any of the items in your list.

• The type of Internet browser you use when you visit.
• The types of computer operating system you use.
• The search engine you use to access the www.cookswarehouse.com (such as Google, Bing or Yahoo).

The anonymous information collected is not associated with you personally or your business. www.cookswarehouse.com uses this anonymous information in the aggregate to improve www.cookswarehouse.com and the services we provide through our site(s).
