Use of Cookies
The GIRAFFEMIND website may 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.

helps GIRAFFEMIND 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.

retrieved, so you can easily use the GIRAFFEMIND features that you customized.

cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you
