Use of Cookies
The My Friend Ministries website may use “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 My Friend Ministries pages, or register with My Friend Ministries site
or services, a cookie helps My Friend Ministries 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 My Friend Ministries website,
the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the My Friend
Ministries features that you customized.
You have the ability to 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 My Friend
Ministries services or websites you visit.
