User Profile Information
We use registration information (name, address, phone numbers, etc.) to provide our customers with newsletters from MT. This is an opt-in service, which can be discontinued at any time. MT does not sell, share or distribute in any way the information with anyone outside MT.
We may on occasion seek information about our customer base via electronic or print surveys. Participation is optional. Survey contact information (name, email address, etc.) is used to request more information in relation to the survey when necessary. We also use contact information to send out personalized and/or targeted promotional material on PCS or its divisions on an opt-in basis. Survey participants may opt-out of future mailings by following the instructions. PCS does not sell, share or distribute in any way the information with anyone outside MT.
Definition of a Cookie
A message given to a web browser by a web server. The browser stores the message in a text file called cookie.txt. The message is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. The main purpose of cookies is to identify users and possibly prepare customized web pages for them. When you enter a web site using cookies, you may be asked to fill out a form providing such information as your name and interests. This information is packaged into a cookie and sent to your web browser, which stores it for later use. The next time you go to the same website, your browser will send the cookie to the web server. The server can use this information to present you with custom web pages. So, for example, instead of seeing just a generic welcome page you might see a welcome page with your name on it.
The name cookie derives from UNIX objects called magic cookies. These are tokens that are attached to a user or program and change depending on the areas entered by the user or program. Cookies are also sometimes called persistent cookies because they typically stay in the browser for long periods of time.
