Do we use "cookies"?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to
your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables
the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture
and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us
remember and process the items in your shopping cart. They are also used to
help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity,
which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to
help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we
can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.
We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better
understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to
use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and
improve our business.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent
or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser
(such as Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is
slightly different. You will need to look at your browser Help menu to learn
the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won't have
access to many features that make your site experience more efficient and some
of our services will not function properly. However, you can still place orders
over the telephone by contacting customer service.

include BG Tax Forms. It also does not include website hosting partners and
other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business
or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information
confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is
appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies or protect ours
or others' rights, property or safety.

other parties for marketing, advertising or other uses.
