About Cookies and Sara River Dot Com

To enhance your experience on our web site, many of our web pages use "cookies" and "Javascript". Cookies are small text files that we place in your computer's browser to store your preferences and enable our Catalogue viewing pages to be more efficient and load faster. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your email address or other personal information unless you choose to provide this information to us by, for example, registering at the site. Once you choose to provide a web page with personal information, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie. A cookie is like an identification card. It is unique to your computer and can only be read by the server that gave it to you. The Javascripts used on Sara River Dot Com are very simple and only enhance your experience on the checkout pages. Some links will not work if Javasripting is not enabled. We recomend that both javascript and cookies be enabled.

Cookies are commonly "handed out" when you, as a user, login to a Web Site where you've registered a username and password. The server finds the cookie information on your computer, checks with its own information, and if they match, retrieves your file. You then have either a personalized version of a web page, or easy access to your online shopping cart, for example.

Cookie technology also makes shopping cart technology possible. For example, when you select items that you intend to purchase in an online shop or catalog, cookies make it possible for you to continue shopping and to "check-out" later. When you go to checkout the Items from your Shopping cart miraculously appear on your order form. Sara River Dot Com will allow its users to register and purchase products from our shopping cart, where cookies will be used.
