Cookies Definition: A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a Web site, the referring site's computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. By default, most browsers are usually set to accept cookies. However, if you decide you do not want to receive cookies, you may alter the configuration of your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies, it is quite possible that some areas of our site will not function as effectively when viewed by the users. In addition, a cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive or pass on computer viruses, etc..

The Use of Information We Collect from Cookies: As you visit and browse GolfBallExpert.com, the website uses cookies to differentiate you from other users. In some cases, we also use cookies to prevent you from having to log in more than is necessary for security. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of website visitors and which parts of the site are the most popular. This helps us gather feedback to constantly improve our website and better serve our visitors and customers. Cookies do not allow us to gather personal information about you and we do not intentionally store any personal info that your browser provided in your cookies.

IP Address Definition: IP addresses are used by your computer every time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number, used by computers on the network, to help identify your computer. IP addresses are automatically collected by our web server as part of demographic and profile data known as traffic data so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be directed and sent to your computer.

Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information?: We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal rights. We may also disclose account information when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms of Service or to protect the safety of our users and the Public.
