Use of Cookies
The Research & Recognition Project website use “cookies”
to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file
that is placed on your hard disk by a webpage server. Cookies cannot be
used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are
uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the
domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience
feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web
server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you
personalize Research & Recognition Project pages, or register with
Research & Recognition Project site or services, a cookie helps
Research & Recognition Project to recall your specific information
on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your
personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and
so on. When you return to the same Research & Recognition Project
website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so
you can easily use the Research & Recognition Project features that
you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline
cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive
features of the Research & Recognition Project services or websites
you visit.
Security of Your Personal Information
Research & Recognition Project secures your personal information from
unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Research & Recognition
Project secures the personally identifiable information you provide on
computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from
unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such
as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is
protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) protocol.
Changes to This Statement
Research & Recognition Project will occasionally update this
Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. Research
& Recognition Project encourages you to periodically review this
Statement to be informed of how Research & Recognition Project is
