Cookies

A cookie is a text file stored on your computer's hard drive. Web sites create cookies to record information about your preferences, such as the items you add to your shopping cart, and for security reasons (see Credit Card Security below). Most cookies expire after a certain time period. The most popular browsers, such as Mozilla, Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer, can be set to give you the option of accepting or rejecting all cookies.

To shop online at NutritionalCenter.com, your browser will need to be configured to accept cookies. Here's how to do it: In Mozilla, click on the Tools menu and select options. In this menu, you can set your browser to accept cookies. In Netscape Navigator 4.x, click the Edit menu and select Preferences from the browser's drop-down menu. In the tree structure, click Advanced. Under Cookies, click "Accept only cookies that get sent back to the originating server" and "Warn me before accepting a cookie" (optional). In Internet Explorer 4.x, click the View menu and select Internet Options from the drop-down menu. Click the Advanced tab, scroll to the Security heading, and select "Prompt before accepting cookies." We suggest that you accept cookies only from Web sites created by companies you know and trust.

If you wish, you may set your browser to reject all cookies and still view the site. Because our online ordering system requires cookies, you will not be able to order online.

Regarding the Use and Sharing of Personal Information

Your name, shipping and billing addresses, and credit card number(s) are used by NutritionalCenter.com in order to provide you with the goods that you purchase on the Web site. We use your email address to provide you with information about your order and its status, and we may occasionally send out emails, including newsletters, to people who have placed an order online, offering them more great deals.

Personal Information is used internally in connection with NutritionalCenter.com's business, including its promotional, marketing and advertising efforts, in a manner which does not readily identify a user to any third party.

We do not sell or otherwise distribute your personal information in any way.

Credit Card Security

Due to the nature of the World Wide Web, it is possible for information to be intercepted during transfer. However, we have gone to considerable lengths to ensure that when you are shopping with NutritionalCenter.com, you and your information is as secure as possible.

With this in mind, we have chosen VeriSign to handle the security of our data transfer, including credit cards. VeriSign uses state of the art, propriatery encrypted Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. Using this type of encryption prevents unauthorized parties from interception data transmissions.
