Cookies - What are
"Cookies"?
"Cookies" are small files sent from a Web server
to your computer through your browser program. There are two
types of cookies: non-persistent and persistent cookies.
A non-persistent cookie enables a Web site to temporarily
keep information on your computer as you travel from one page
to another on our site. This cookie is automatically deleted
from your machine when you close your browser. Because these
cookies are necessary to provide some functions, failure to
allow such cookies may make some of the functions on our Web
site unavailable to you.
A persistent cookie is kept even when you close your browser.
You can manually delete these cookies using commands specific
to your browser and computer system. These cookies store information
that would generally not change from session to session. They
also contain information that would need to be reentered by
you each time you visit the Web site. For example, a common
use of persistent cookies is to allow a registered site visitor
to enter the site without having to specify their user-id
and password.
Use of Cookies
Slow Food USA uses cookies for various reasons. Slow Food
USA only reads cookies written by our site. It does not use
cookies to obtain information on other Web sites that you
may visit. We may use cookies to store some history about
the parts of our sites that you have visited to help you navigate
our site more easily or to alert you to related pages on our
site that may interest you.
Electronic Mail sent
to us containing personal information
You may decide to send Slow Food USA personally identifying
information, for example, in a message containing information
about your membership. We will only use this information to
identify you as a member of Slow Food USA and to determine
how to respond to the electronic mail. We will not use this
information for any purpose other than to resolve the matter
identified in the email.
Questions
Slow Food USA welcomes comments and questions on this policy.
We are dedicated to protecting your personal information,
and will make every reasonable effort to keep that information
secure.
If you have any questions, please contact us at info@slowfoodusa.org
or call us between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. EST at 718.260.8000..

The information you provide to us will also be covered by
this policy.
Due to the rapidly evolving technologies on the Internet,
we may occasionally update this policy. All revisions will
be posted to this site. A revised Privacy Policy will apply
only to data collected subsequent to its effective date. |
