The only personally identifying information that we collect and store about you is the information that you have chosen to provide to us. For example, if you become a subscriber, we will collect your name, address, email address and other personal information so that we can process your requests.

The VOR Group, Ltd. Web site uses non-persistent cookies to help track items put in your shopping cart and to allow a subscriber to remain logged in as they move among Web pages.

The VOR Group, Ltd. uses a persistent cookie if a subscriber selects the "Remember me on this computer" option when logging in so that the subscriber does not have to re-enter his or her User ID and password on subsequent Site visits.
