The Sound Advice website uses "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page 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 Sound Advice pages, or register with Sound Advice site or services, a cookie helps Sound Advice 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 Sound Advice website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Sound Advice features that you customized.

You may 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 Sound Advice services or websites you visit.

Sound Advice secures your personal information 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.

Sound Advice will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. Sound Advice encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how Sound Advice is protecting your information.
