What About Cookies? Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as 1-Click purchasing, New for You, personalized
DarrenMcNeese Honor System greetings, and
storage of items in your Shopping Cart between

browser from accepting new cookies, how to have

cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.
Additionally, you can disable or delete similar
data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash

them turned on. For instance, if you block or
otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be
able to add items to your Shopping Cart, proceed

Does
DarrenMcNeese.com Share the Information It Receives?
Information about our customers is an important
part of our business, and we are not in the
business of selling it to others. We share
customer information only as described below and
with subsidiaries DarrenMcNeese.com, Inc. controls that either are subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.
Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control:
We work closely with our affiliated businesses.
In some cases, such as Marketplace and Auctions
sellers, these businesses operate stores at
DarrenMcNeese.com or sell offerings to you at
DarrenMcNeese.com. In other cases, we operate stores, provide services, or sell product lines jointly with these businesses. Click here for some examples of co-branded and joint offerings. You can tell when a third party is involved in your transactions, and we share customer information related to those transactions with that third party.
Third-Party Service Providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, and providing customer service.

Business Transfers:
As we continue to develop our business, we might
sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business
units. In such transactions, customer

business assets but remains subject to the
promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice
(unless, of course, the customer consents
otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that
DarrenMcNeese.com, Inc., or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.

information when we believe release is
appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or
apply our Conditions of Use and other
agreements; or protect the rights, property, or
safety of DarrenMcNeese.com, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

With Your Consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
