How and why does Bio-Genica use "cookies" to collect information?
A cookie is a small data file that a web site can write to your hard drive for internal reporting and record keeping purposes. Generally, cookies are used by us to measure activity on the website (how many people visited an area on the site or requested information). Cookies also allow us to make improvements and updates to the site based on which promotions or subject areas are popular and which are not. We never save passwords or credit card information in cookies.

The use of cookies is an industry standard -- you'll find them at most major Web sites. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of the Bio-Genica site may not function properly or may be considerably slower if you refuse cookies. For example, without cookies, you will not be able to set personalized news preferences or you may have difficulty completing shopping transactions, entering contests, or playing games.
