Use of Cookies
Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to an individual’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make Web-surfing easier for the user by saving the user’s preferences while the user is at the Web Site. Our Dealership never saves passwords or credit card information in cookies.
By showing how and when users use a Website, cookies help Our Dealership see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to this Web Site are based on such data as a total number of users and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies. Our Dealership uses the information from cookies to provide services better tailored to this Web Site’s users.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent.
Use of IP Addresses
An IP address is a number that’s automatically assigned to your computer whenever you’re surfing the Web. Web servers – the big computers that “serve up” Web pages – automatically identify your computer by its IP address.
Our Dealership may collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregate information to our advertisers, and to audit the use of our site. When users request pages from this Web Site, our servers log the users’ IP addresses. Our Dealership does not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a user’s session will be logged but the user remains anonymous to us. Our Dealership can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when Our Dealership feels it is necessary to enforce compliance with our house rules, terms of service, any law or regulation or to protect our service, Web Site, customers, or others.
Some services within the Web Site, such as certain message boards, may display IP addresses along with the message poster’s name and message. Please review each service prior to use and only use those that disclose information you are comfortable with sharing.
Security
The importance of privacy and security for all personally identifiable information associated with users is of utmost concern to Our Dealership. Our Dealership exercises great care in providing secure transmission of users’ information from the users’ personal computer to Our Dealership’s servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while Our Dealership strives to protect users personal information, Our Dealership cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information users transmit to Our Dealership or from Our Dealership’s Online products or services, and users do so at their own risk. Once Our Dealership receives users’ transmission, Our Dealership makes its best effort to ensure the transmission’s security on Our Dealership’s systems. If credit card information is transmitted, Our Dealership uses industry standard, SSL (secure socket layer) encryption.
