Use of Cookies
EMKAL websites 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 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.
Cookies make it possible for you to create an account on EMKAL’s websites so that you can login and log out of our services. Whether you login, create and account or not, cookies provide a convenience feature to save you time. The cookie tells the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize EMKAL pages, or register with EMKAL sites or services, a cookie helps EMKAL 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 EMKAL website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the EMKAL 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 login to your EMKAL account or fully experience the interactive features of the EMKAL services or websites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
EMKAL secures your PII from unauthorized access, use or disclosure on servers in a controlled, secure environment using industry standard techniques. When PII is transmitted to EMKAL websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Transport Layer Security protocol.

EMKAL may occasionally update this Privacy Statement to reflect company and customer feedback. EMKAL encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how EMKAL is protecting your information. Your continued use of EMKAL websites and services after any change (whether or not we directly notify you of the changes) constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Statement.
