WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Our site uses cookies to keep track of your use of our site.  Cookies are stored on your computer and are not stored on the SharonBlacknall.info website anywhere. We use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests, and to recognize you when you visit our site. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Cookies do not damage your system. We use cookies to identify which areas of SharonBlacknall.info you have visited. You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings of your browser. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or allow your browser to show you when a cookie is being sent.

WHAT OTHER INFORMATION DO YOU REQUEST?
We may also request your e-mail address or mailing address for the purposes of conducting a survey or to provide additional services (for example, subscriptions to e-mail newsletters, announcement lists, or information about seminars). Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we will clearly indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the information is requested.

In addition, SharonBlacknall.info will not send you email that you have not agreed to receive. We may from time to time send e-mail announcing new products and services. If you choose to supply your postal address in an online form, you may receive mailings.

If you choose to purchase something online, we need to know your name, e-mail address, mailing address, credit card number, and expiration date. This allows us to process and fulfill your order and to notify you of your order status. This information may also be used by us to notify you of related product and services.

WILL YOU DISCLOSE THE INFORMATION YOU COLLECT TO OUTSIDE THIRD PARTIES?
