A cookie is a small data file that certain websites and applications write to your hard drive when you visit them.

A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Some parts of our websites and applications use cookies to track user traffic patterns. We do this in order to determine the usefulness of our website information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information. If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing our websites and applications, you can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when your browser alerts you to its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser, although you may not be able to take full advantage of our websites and applications if you do so. In particular, you may be required to accept cookies in order to complete certain actions on our websites and applications. You do not need to have cookies turned on, however, to use/navigate through many parts of our websites and applications, except access to certain of Showstopper's web pages may require a login and password.
We use third-party analytics and tracking tools to understand better who is using our product and services, how our product and services are used, and how to improve the effectiveness of our product, services, and related content. We may also use the information collected to draw inferences.

Your account information, if applicable, is password-protected for your privacy and security. Showstopper safeguards the security of the data you send us with physical, electronic, and managerial procedures.
