Privacy and Security
Online Ordering is Secure
We value our customers and want to make shopping online as comfortable and as safe
as possible. We have taken every precaution to safeguard your financial information.
Your credit card numbers are encrypted while in transit using the industry standard
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Moreover, your credit card numbers are encrypted and
stored on our isolated network, protecting them from theft or internal compromise.
This system provides safe, reliable e-commerce.
In our effort to be a leader in online security, we have designed data management
software systems which automatically store and protect your information. Furthermore,
for added safety, if our customer service team suspects anything to be improper
with your order and/or your credit card, they will contact you and get voice authorization
from you.

might use this information to contact you for help processing the order. We respect
your privacy. We may use your information to personalize your shopping experience
(such as a personal greeting). Our secure server software encrypts all personal

Cookies (computer data type "cookies"- not our store): "Cookies" are pieces of data your browser stores on your computer's

About Children/Teens: like you, Cookie's is concerned about the safety of children
when they use the Internet. Consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection
Act of 1998, we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information
from anyone under the age of 13 without prior verifiable parental consent.
ANYONE UNDER 18 must have their parent's or guardian's permission to order.
If we become aware that a subscriber is under the age of 13 and has registered without
prior verifiable parental consent, we will remove his or her personally identifiable
registration information from our files. Please note: we may nevertheless maintain
a record of that person's name and address in a "do not register" file
to avoid subsequent registration by a child under the age of 13.

including those of advertisers. We are not responsible for the privacy, security
or the content policies on those sites.

or required by law; or, (2) trying to protect against or prevent actual or potential

Safety and Security
Shopping on CookiesKids.com is safe and secure. We ensure that it's safe by transferring
all of your personal information, including your name, address and credit card,
over a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) line. This ensures that your information is encrypted
and cannot be read by others as it travels over the Internet. The secure mode begins
when you initiate your order. You will know you're in secure mode when the tiny
padlock icon (located at the bottom of your browser) appears as locked. You also
can verify you are in secure mode by looking at the URL line of your browser. When
accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change
from "http" to "https" And after the information reaches us,
it is stored on a secure server, resides behind a firewall and cannot be accessed
from outside the company. At that point, your information can only be accessed by
employees to process your orders.
Alternate Option. If you are still concerned about using your credit card over the
Internet you can just phone our Customer Care Center listed below and one of our
trained Customer Care Representatives will be glad to take your order.
