What is “Remember my info.” and how does this affect my privacy?
Selecting “Remember my info.”
offers convenience in shopping on our site so you may enter your
personal information only once per visit while you continue to shop around; however,
it may temporarily affect your privacy.
When you select “Remember my
info.” then “Submit” a service request on goponderosa.com, a cookie is sent to
the computer you are ordering from containing the information you’ve entered
into the customer information form. The cookie will reside in your Internet
Browser software (such as Internet Explorer), on the computer you are using, as
a temporary information file for a period of 1 day. Personal computer
browsers and local settings may override and disable cookie expiration date
deletion.
Please read on to determine
if this option is for you.
