What are cookies? How does ProudItalians.com use cookies on its site?
A cookie is a small data file that Web sites often store on your computer's hard drive when you visit their sites. A cookie may contain information (such as a unique user ID), that is used to track the pages of the sites you've visited. We use cookies in order to improve your shopping experience. If you have saved your information with us, your cookie allows us to recognize you when you return to our site and provides you with access to your account information. If you have saved your information with us or ordered from us, we also use cookies to monitor and maintain information about your use of our site. In any case, using cookies helps us serve you better by improving our site design, as well as our products, services, contests, and promotions.

We do not track any information about your use of other Web sites.

You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you turn off cookies, though, we will not be able to track your order or enable you to make a purchase from our site.

Is my credit card and personal informationsecure?
Protecting the safety of your credit card information is important to us. We safeguard the security of the data you send us with physical, electronic, and managerial procedures. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer.

We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that we have collected from you so you can feel comfortable and secure when shopping. SSL is the gold standard in Internet encryption technology, which is a fancy way of saying that it's a highly sophisticated method of scrambling data as it travels from your computer to our website's servers.

Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your bank or credit card company cannot hold you liable for more than $50 of unauthorized or fraudulent charges on a credit card. Your liability for unauthorized use of a debit card may be higher, but most debit card issuers voluntarily apply the $50 limit to their cards, as well. If your bank does hold you liable for any amount up to $50, ProudItalians.com will cover the liability imposed on you, up to $50. ProudItalians.com will cover this amount only if the unauthorized use of your credit card occurred at ProudItalians.com and through no fault of your own.

Remember: If unauthorized use of your credit or debit card does occur, you must notify your card provider, in accordance with the agreement you have with the company.

What about links to other Web sites and services?
ProudItalians.com may contain links to other sites that are not under our control. These Web sites have their own policies regarding privacy, which you should review before visiting them. We have no responsibility for linked Web sites and provide these links solely for the convenience and information of our visitors.

How can I update or access my information?
You always have access to the information we have about you. Such information may be accessed and updated by using your email address and password to log into "My Account" on ProudItalians.com.
