2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our

"cookies" (see explanation below,
"What Are Cookies?") and Web server
logs to collect information about how our
Web site is used. Information gathered through
cookies and Web server logs may include the
date and time of visits, the pages viewed,
time spent at our Web site, and the Web sites
visited just before and just after our Web

may also use small pieces of code called "web
beacons" or "clear gifs" to
determine which advertisements and promotions
users have seen and how users responded to
them.

Broadly speaking, we use personal information
for purposes of administering and expanding
our business activities, providing customer
service and making available other products
and services to our customers and prospective

What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which
often includes an anonymous unique identifier.
When you visit a Web site, that site's computer
asks your computer for permission to store
this file in a part of your hard drive specifically
designated for cookies. Each Web site can
send its own cookie to your browser if your
browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect
your privacy) your browser only permits a
Web site to access the cookies it has already
sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by
other sites.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from
Cookies?
As you shop on our Web site, the site uses
its cookies to differentiate you from other
shoppers so your shopping cart is only available
to you. In some cases, we also use cookies
to prevent you from seeing unnecessary advertisements
or requiring you to log in more than is necessary
for security. Cookies, in conjunction with
our Web server's log files, allow us to calculate
the aggregate number of people visiting our
Web site and which parts of the site are most
popular. This helps us gather feedback in
order to constantly improve our Web site and
better serve our customers. Cookies do not
allow us to gather any personal information
about you and we do not generally store any
personal information that you provided to
us in your cookies.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
We may enter into alliances, partnerships
or other business arrangements with third
parties who may be given access to personal
information including your name, address,
telephone number and email for the purpose
of providing you information regarding products
and services that we think will be of interest
to you. In connection with alliances, partnerships
or arrangements, we may also provide certain
information to third parties if we have determined
that the information will be used in a responsible
manner by a responsible third party. For example,
some of our partners operate stores or provide
services on our site, while others power offerings
developed by us for your use. We also use
third parties to facilitate our business,
including, but not limited to, sending email
and processing credit card payments. In connection
with these offerings and business operations,
our partners and other third parties may have
access to your personal information for use
in connection with business activities. As
we develop our business, we may buy or sell
assets or business offerings. Customer, email,
and visitor information is generally one of
the transferred business assets in these types
of transactions. We may also transfer such
information in the course of corporate divestitures,
mergers, or any dissolution.
Notice of New Services and Changes
Occasionally, we may also use the information
we collect to notify you about important changes
to our Web site, new services and special
offers we think you will find valuable. As
our customer, you will be given the opportunity
to notify us of your desire not to receive
these offers by sending us an email request
at info@fmdining.com.
