Use of Cookies

The Sugarcane.org website uses “cookies” to help us improve your web 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 primary use of cookies is to provide Sugarcane.org better data about how visitors use the site so that we can provide a better experience to our users. These tracking cookies do not, however, collect personal data about you; they are simply used to provide us more meaningful reports to improve the website. Additionally, where appropriate, we may use cookies to allow you to personalize your experience on Sugarcane.org. For example, if you personalize Sugarcane.org, or register with the Sugarcane.org website or services, a cookie helps us to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as email addresses, postal or shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Sugarcane.org website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Sugarcane.org 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 Sugarcane.org web services or websites you visit.
