What are cookies? Why
do we use them?
Cookies are very tiny text files that are stored on
your computer when you visit certain web pages that
record your preferences. Waraku uses cookies to keep
track of what you have in your shopping cart and to
remember you when you return to our store. They cannot
harm your computer and they do not contain any personal
or private information. You must accept cookies to
shop at Waraku.
How do we protect information
we collect?
We offer secure web pages to collect certain kinds
of user information and we store certain kinds of
data in encrypted form. We follow reasonable technical
and management practices to help protect the confidentiality,
security and integrity of data stored on our system.
While no computer system is completely secure, we
believe the measures implemented by our web site reduce
the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate
to the type of data involved. Waraku servers use Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL), an encryption technology that
works with Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet
Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and AOL's browser, so that
only Waraku can read a customer's personal information.
How long do we keep user
information?
We generally keep user data on our server or in our
archives for as long as we reasonably need it. We
may alter this practice according to changing requirements.
For example, we may delete some data if needed to
free up storage space. We may keep other data for
longer periods if the law requires it. In addition,
information posted in a public forum could stay in
the public domain indefinitely.
Data management requests are administered in an orderly
manner to the extent feasible and within our direct
control. Note: we have greater control over recently
collected data than for archived data. Once data is
removed from the system and archived, it may not be
feasible to accommodate specific requests. In those
cases, our general data retention policy applies.

and Security Policy. This is our entire and exclusive
