Cookies and You

Note, there are two kinds of cookies in the world: session and persistent.  A "session" cookie, as used by our web site, is only temporary and will, per our understanding, normally be destroyed when you exit your browser.  For your privacy and protection, our web site has been designed to work successfully with temporary session cookies only.  "Persistent" cookies, which are stored on your computer's hard drive until an expiration date set by the web site, are an alternative.  However, we do not use "persistent" cookies unless you specifically choose a "remember me on this computer" option.

For more information on our commitment to protect your privacy, please read our Privacy Policy.

If you are just a visitor...  You are not required to accept any cookie to visit our web site.  However, our web site will attempt to serve you a temporary session-only cookie in the event you are willing to accept one.  If your browser accepts the cookie, (1) it will contain an anonymous unique identifier that has no long term significance and (2) it should disappear completely whenever you exit your browser.  As a visitor, you do not need to accept this cookie, but if you do, it may, in some circumstances, save you some typing if you need to do a variety of searches.  If you do not accept the cookie, you will still be able to search, but you may, in some circumstances, have to re-enter some of your search criteria from one search to the next.

If you are a member/friend, or you would like to register as a member/friend... then your browser preferences must be enabled to accept temporary session cookies from our server (www.massageanywhere.com).  The cookie will give you permission to review and update your account with us.  As with visitor cookies, this temporary cookie contains only an anonymous unique identifier.  It should disappear completely whenever you exit your browser or logout.  Please understand, for YOUR security, if you do not accept the cookie, you will not be able to access the members-only or friends-only areas of the web site.

To use a "remember me on this computer" option... your browser preferences must be enabled to accept persistent cookies from our server as well as temporary session cookies.  If you choose this option, a persistent cookie will be saved on your hard drive which will enable you (and anyone else who uses your computer) to access those features of our web site without having to log back in.  This is a convenience for you, but for your privacy and security, and because this persistent cookie may contain your username, password and/or e-mail address, you should not use the "remember me on this computer" option if you share your computer with other people.  Our persistent cookie may remain on your hard drive until it expires or you clear the cookies in your browser.

If we report to you that your browser is not accepting our cookie, please follow the instructions specific to your browser to enable cookies.
