Use of Cookies

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

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a
convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell
the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example,
if you personalize Gentek Building Products pages, or register with
Gentek Building Products site or services, a cookie helps Gentek
Building Products to recall your specific information on subsequent
visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal
information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on.
When you return to the same Gentek Building Products website, the
information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily
use the Gentek Building Products features that you customized.
You

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 Gentek Building Products services or websites you visit.
