Use of Cookies
The Catawba Lodge Web site use "cookies" to help you
personalize your online experience. A cookie is a 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. The purpose of a
cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned
to a specific page. For example, if you personalize
Catawba Lodge pages, or register with Catawba Lodge site or
services, a cookie helps Catawba Lodge to recall your
specific information on subsequent visits. This
simplifies the process of recording your personal
information, such as billing addresses, shipping
addresses, and so on. When you return to the same
Catawba
Lodge Web site, the information you previously provided
can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Catawba Lodge
features that you customized.
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 prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may
not be able to fully experience the interactive features
of the Catawba Lodge services or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal
Information
Catawba Lodge secures your personal information from
unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Catawba Lodge
secures the personally identifiable information you
provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure
environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or
disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit
card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is
protected through the use of encryption, such as the
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Statement
Catawba Lodge will occasionally update this Statement of
Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback.
Catawba
Lodge encourages you to periodically review this
Statement to be informed of how Catawba Lodge is
protecting your information.
