is a requirement to use our online shopping & tracking system and is not
used for any other purpose, nor shared with 3rd parties. We also implement
the use of cookies.
A
cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping
purposes. We use cookies on this site. We link the information we store in cookies
to information you submit while on our site to improve site usability and extra
features. We
use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. We use session cookies to
make it easier for you to navigate our site. A session ID cookie expires when
you close you browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an
extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions
provided in your Internet browser’s “help” file.
We set a persistent cookie to store your passwords, so you don’t have
to enter it more than once. Persistent cookies also enable us to track and target
the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site.
If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some
areas of our site, such as a shopping cart, will be limited and may not function
properly.
We

We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose

To

This registration collects basic non-sensitive personal information (name, email,

forum members see their email address and email them directly. We are
not responsible for damages caused by this as it is an option the forum users
choose. The feature for displaying your email address to other forum users
can be disabled at any time. Information entered into the forum is not
sold to third parties. Occasionally, the AnneMichele.com forum administrators
may send emails out to registered forum users announcing forum policy changes
and other forum modifications.

for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing
an order, we will use this information to contact you.
We
