COOKIES
Astra Data uses “cookies” to enhance your use of our Site. “Cookies” are small text files placed on your computer’s hard drive by a website when you visit that website. These files identify your computer and record your preferences and other data about your visit to a website so that when you return to that website, the website operator knows who you are and can personalize your visit. For example, cookies enable a website shopping cart to function so that you only have to check out once. Consequently, cookies are often tied to the use of personally identifiable information while using our Site. If you choose not to accept the use of cookies, your use of our Site may be impaired. Cookies allow us to complete transactions you have requested; collect information to determine which Services and sections of our Site are most and least popular; personalize our Site and make recommendations to you based on Services you have used in the past; and improve the ease of use of our Site, sometimes in conjunction with web beacons. We do not use cookies to store credit card information. We do, however, use cookies to store login information (including passwords) for customers who choose the option of storing such information on their computers. We also use a session-based cookie to maintain continuity of navigation for you when viewing our Site during a particular on-line session. After closing the browser, the session cookie simply terminates; it is not stored on your computer’s hard drive thereafter.
There are different types of cookies which are used to do different things, such as letting you navigate between different pages on a website efficiently, remembering preferences you have given and helping us to identify ways to improve your overall website experience. Others are used to provide you with advertising which is more tailored to your interests or to measure the number of website visits and the most popular pages users visit. Due to their core role of enhancing and enabling usability or website processes, disabling certain cookies may prevent you from using certain aspects of our Site.
Broadly speaking, there are two different types of Browser Cookies:
Session cookies – these types of cookies are stored in the computer’s memory during a user’s browsing session and are automatically deleted from the user’s computer when the browser is closed or the session is deemed to have ended. These cookies usually store a session ID that is not to users, allowing the user to move from page to page without having to log-in repeatedly. They are widely used by commercial websites; for example, to keep track of items that a user has added to a shopping basket.
Persistent cookies – these types of cookies are stored on a user’s computer and are not deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies can be used to retain user preferences for a particular website, allowing those preferences to be used in future browsing sessions. Persistent cookies usually assign a unique ID to the user’s browser and they are usually configured to identify a user for a prolonged period of time.
We only use browser cookies to measure non-personal information, for example to learn about the behavior of visitors to our Site, to remember your preferences and to ensure we serve the correct content to you whilst on our Site.
SECURITY & CREDIT CARD INFORMATION
We have implemented reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. Our Site has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of information under our control. However, the internet is an open system and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes. Certain information may be transmitted to you by electronic mail. Although it may be illegal to intercept or disclose these messages, these transmissions are not secured.
The credit card information we collect from our visitors is stored in databases we control. Physical access to the servers on which we store visitor information is restricted. We only use your credit card information to bill you for the Products and Services you order from us. We don’t share your credit card information with anyone, except as may be necessary to process your transactions.
To protect the privacy of your credit card number and other ordering information, we encrypt this information for transit over the Internet using a Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”) connection. However, as effective as modern security practices are, no physical or electronic security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our database, nor can we guarantee that information you supply won’t be intercepted while being transmitted over the Internet.
That said, we have taken certain physical, administrative, and technical steps to safeguard the information we collect from and about our customers and Site visitors and we are committed to making every effort to help ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems.
