   1. Cookies.Praedicat may use cookies to enhance your interactions with the Websites and your use of Services. When you visit the Websites, Praedicat's servers may send a cookie to your computer. Standing alone, cookies do not personally identify you. They merely recognize your Web browser. Unless you choose to identify yourself to Praedicat, either by filling out a Web form (such as a "Contact Me" Web form) or registering to use Services or otherwise identifying yourself to Praedicat, you remain anonymous to Praedicat. Praedicat may use cookies that are session-based and persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during one session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser software or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your browser or turn off your computer.

      If you have chosen to identify yourself to Praedicat, Praedicat may use session cookies containing encrypted information to allow Praedicat to uniquely identify you. Each time you log into the Services, a session cookie containing an encrypted, unique identifier that is tied to your account would be placed on your browser.

Session cookies may be required to use the Services.

      Praedicat may use persistent cookies that only Praedicat can read and use to identify browsers that have previously visited the Websites. When you purchase the Services or provide Praedicat with personal information, a unique identifier is assigned to you. This unique identifier would be associated with a persistent cookie that Praedicat would place on your browser. Praedicat maintains and safeguards the security and confidentiality of the information stored in persistent cookies.

      If you disable your Web browser's ability to accept cookies, you will be able to navigate the Websites, but you will not be able to use the Services in the intended manner.
