Cookies

To make this site work properly, we must sometimes place small data files called “cookies” on your device. Most big websites do this too.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you do not have to keep re-entering this information whenever you come back to Abdo’s site or browse from one page to another.

How do we use cookies?

  • We use cookies to record session information, record user-specific information on what pages users access or visit, and record past activity at a site in order to personalize site content to user preferences. Cookies may also record websites visited just before and just after our website.
  • Cookies also identify users across devices (e.g., a user clicks a link in an email from his/her desktop, then, later visits the website via mobile or tablet device; we marry those cookies so users have a consistent website experience across devices).
  • The cookies we employ are not essential for the website to function properly. Cookies are used to enhance the user experience on the site through personalization.
  • We use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie is stored in temporary memory and is not retained after the browser is closed. In some instances, we use permanent cookies. A persistent cookie stores itself on the user’s hard drive in order to remember preferences from session to session.
  • Cookies will not be used for any purpose other than the ones stated in this notice.

We use Google Analytics to analyze how visitors use our site, including its advertising features. Information sent by your browser, including your IP address, may be used as anonymous aggregated statistical data to analyze our web traffic, improve the quality of our website, and enhance your browsing experience. View Google’s privacy policy. You can opt out of Google’s Advertising features through ad settings, ad settings for mobile, or any other available means. Access Google Analytics’ available opt-outs.

From time to time, we may use customer information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our privacy notice. If our information practices change at some time in the future we will post the policy changes to our website to notify you of these changes. If you are concerned about how your information is used, you should check back at our website periodically.

Upon request we offer visitors the ability to have inaccuracies corrected in contact information.
With respect to security: We strive to have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information that we have collected from you at our site.

If you feel that this site is not following its stated information policy, you may contact us at the above addresses.
