Customer may also set its browser to turn off cookies; however, some Web sites may not then work properly.

Examples of such collecting include: traffic analysis, such as tracking of the domains from which users visit, or tracking numbers of visitors; measuring visitor activity on Barton Web site(s); Web site and system administration; user analysis; and business decision making. Such information is sometimes known as ”clickstream data.” Barton or its contractors may use this data to analyze trends and statistics
No Liability for Acts of Third Parties.
Barton will exercise all reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of customer personal information. However, transmissions protected by industry standard security technology and implemented by human beings cannot be made absolutely secure.
