Use of cookies
There has been an increase in the use of cookies on the WWW during the last two years and it is an area that, rightly or wrongly, concerns many people. On your first visit to the American Mattress site, a "cookie" may be sent to your computer from the American Mattress server. A cookie is a file that stores a personal preference file so that the originating server recognizes you as a unique user. It cannot tell us that you are "Person A" from Location A. We use cookies to track user trends and patterns and to service your account in a personal manner. This helps us better understand and improve areas of the American Mattress web site that our users find valuable - you know the pages that people go back to time and time again and the ones that people look at once. While this activity depends on the use of a "cookie," visitors to a American Mattress web site always have the option of disabling cookies via their browser preferences. Note that all modern browsers, version 4 and above of both Netscape Navigator and MS Explorer have cookies turned on as a default. However, note that some parts of a American Mattress web site may not function properly if you refuse a cookie. What cookies cannot do is read your hard drive or sell your secrets to another organization. A cookie can only be read by the organization that sets it.
