Cookies are originally designed to help a Web site distinguish a user's browser as a
previous visitor and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been set while
the user was browsing the site. A cookie is a small string of text that a Web site can send
to your browser. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive, pass on
computer viruses, or capture your e-Mail address. Currently, Web sites use cookies to
enhance the user's visit; in general, cookies can securely store a user's ID and password,
personalize home pages, identify which parts of a site have been visited or keep track of
selections.
If you are just browsing www.nykline.com, a cookie identifies only your browser.
If you become a registered user on the NYKLine Web site (with a designated user ID and
password), we use cookies so that we can provide customized information that we believe will
be of value to you based on preferences indicated, other information we have about you as an
NYKLine customer, as well as information available from external sources. It is possible to
set your browser to inform you when a cookie is being placed-this way, you have the
opportunity to decide whether to accept a cookie. If you are just browsing our site and are
not a registered user, you do not have to accept a cookie and you may still continue
utilizing the site. However, if you are visiting a site where you will be accessing your
confidential account information (such as service contract), you must accept that site's
cookies as they are essential for site administration and security. By accepting a cookie,
keep in mind that your choice to decline e-Mail offers remains unaffected.
