b. Use of Cookies The Empty Cube may use cookies to
personalize or enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small
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 of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience
feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web
page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall
your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this
simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases
site navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login
information as well as providing personalized functionality.
The Empty Cube reserves the right to share aggregated site
statistics with partner companies, but does not grant other
companies permission to place cookies on our website unless there
is a temporary, overriding customer value (such as merging into
theemptycube.com a site that relies on third-party cookies).
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 reject cookies by
changing your browser settings then be aware that this may disable
some of the functionality on our Website.

applicable services offered by The Empty Cube and/or a select
number of third party vendors. You may also be asked to disclose
personal information to us so that we can provide assistance and
information to you. For example, such data may be warranted in
order to provide a newsletter, online technical support and
troubleshooting. We will not disclose personally identifiable
information we collect from you to third parties without your
permission except to the extent necessary including: To fulfill
your service requests for services. To protect ourselves from

USE OF WEB BEACONS OR GIF FILES
The Empty Cube web pages may contain electronic images known as Web
beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that allow us
to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver
co-branded services. The Empty Cube. may also include Web beacons
in e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether
messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party service
providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising
campaigns or email communications. These Web beacons may be used by
these service providers to place a persistent cookie on your
computer. This allows the service provider to recognize your
computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile
anonymous information in relation to those page views, which in
turn enables us and our service providers to learn which
advertisements and emails bring you to our website and how you use
the site. The Empty Cube prohibits Web beacons from being used to
collect or access your personal information.
5. ACCESSING WEB ACCOUNT INFORMATION
