How do we protect visitor information?We

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 (like
Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a
little different, so look at your browser's 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 calling us directly.
Do we disclose the information we collect to outside parties?We
do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your
personally identifiable information unless we provide you with advance
notice, except as described below. The term "outside parties" does not
include Copano Bay Company. It also does not include website hosting
partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website,
conducting our business, or serving 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.

modify your e-mail subscriptions, please let us know by modifying your
