Currently there is great concern about privacy and information
collection on the internet. Many people are concerned about
cookies, website logs,
and other techniques that can be used for collecting user
information or tracking a user's browsing habits as well as
the ways which online companies may use information they collect.
Brassica Protection Products feels strongly
that such information is private and treats all customer and
visitor information with utmost confidentiality and respect.
This data is never given or sold to others, and is protected
on all our systems.
The only private information BPP has about you is what you
choose to give us in sending us an email message.
This information is only used in answering
your queries or in responding to your messages. Again, we will
never sell or give any of this information to third parties or
use it for bulk advertising or other purposes.
We review aggregated results from our site's visitor statistics.
These data are, by their very nature, aggregate totals and can not
disclose any sort of individual information. No one can identify,
contact or find you through our use of this data, or even its collection.
BPP's website may in the future use session
cookies to support certain functions via Active Server Pages (ASP).
However, they would ONLY be used to implement those obvious functions such
as database browsing. Without cookies, these features would not work.
BPP's site does not use persistent
cookies at all.
- Maintaining current position within the database browser
- Position data would be saved only for the length of one session on our site
- No personal information would be saved.
Useful Definitions
- Cookies
- Cookies are a means that www browsers and servers can use to accomplish certain
complex tasks.
Cookies are simply information that the server (brassica) asks the browser (you)
to store locally. This info is stored by your browser in a
particular file (generally cookies.txt) and can only be retrieved by our site.
- Session Cookies
- Session cookies are only saved for the duration of your present session.
If you close your browser, the information is discarded.
- Persistent Cookies
- Persistent cookies are saved by your browser from session to session. In
other words, they are stored even when you close and restart your browser.
- Website Logs
- Most, if not all webservers (the software that runs any website), provide
logs of the traffic visiting that site. These logs generally contain only
information such as IP number, date, time, and the page or image loaded.
Generally these logs are processed into a report by an analysis program such
as Analog or Webtrends. See Statistical Information.
