-
Great Outdoor bbqs Dot Com may use cookies to
personalize or enhance your user experience. A cookie
is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk
by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run
programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies
are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a
Web Server in the domain that issued the cookie to
you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide
a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if
you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site,
a cookie helps the site to recall your specific
information on subsequent visits. Hence, this
simplifies the process of delivering relevant content
and eases site navigation by providing and saving your
preferences and login information as well as providing
personalized functionality..
Great Outdoor bbqs Dot Com reserves the right to
share aggregated site statistics with partner
companies, but does not allow other companies to place
cookies on our website unless there is a temporary,
overriding customer value (such as merging into [Insert
Name of Company].com a site that relies on third-party
cookies).
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies.
Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you
can usually modify your browser setting to decline
cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser
settings then be aware that this may disable some of
the functionality on our Website.
- c. Personal Information Users.
Visitors to our website can register to purchase

personal information such as name, address, email,
telephone number or facsimile number, account number and
other relevant information. If you are purchasing a

financial information we collect is used only to bill you
for the goods/services you purchased. If you purchase by
credit card, this information may be forwarded to your
credit card provider. For other types of registrations, we

asked to disclose personal information to us so that we can
provide assistance and information to you. For example,

We will not disclose personally identifiable information we
collect from you to third parties without your permission
except to the extent necessary including:

- 4. USE OF WEB BEACONS OR GIF FILES.
-
Great Outdoor bbqs Dot Com Web pages may contain
electronic images known as Web beacons, sometimes also
called single-pixel gifs, that allow Great Outdoor bbqs
Dot Com to count users who have visited those pages and
to deliver co-branded services. Great Outdoor bbqs Dot
Com may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail
messages or newsletters in order to determine whether
messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third
party service providers to help determine the
effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email
communications. These Web beacons may be used by these
service providers to place a persistent cookie on your
computer. This allows the service provider to recognize
your computer each time you visit certain pages or
emails and compile anonymous information in relation to
those page views, which in turn enables us and our
service providers to learn which advertisements and
emails bring you to our website and how you use the
site. Great Outdoor bbqs Dot Com prohibits Web beacons
from being used to collect or access your personal
information.
- 5. CHANGES TO THIS STATEMENT.

Privacy page. We encourage you to periodically review this
privacy statement to stay informed about how we are helping
to protect the personal information we collect. Your
continued use of the service constitutes your agreement to
this privacy statement and any updates.
