The website www.vonstaff.com uses cookies, and by browsing this site, as a visitor, user, or customer, you agree to their use by Vonstaff, which is the owner of this site.
The Vonstaff site uses cookies because they play an important role in facilitating access, optimizing functionality, and providing services that the user enjoys on the site, such as:
A cookie is not a virus, it is a small file that websites save on the user's computer. These cookies are not dangerous to the user.
They cannot be executed by the user's computer and cannot access files stored on the computer.
Cookies, in themselves, do not request personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.
A cookie consists of two parts: its name and its content or value.
Furthermore, the lifetime of a cookie is determined; technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that web server.
A cookie contains information that links users to a particular website. If a browser accesses that web server again, it can read the already stored information and react accordingly.
Cookies ensure users have a pleasant browsing experience and support the efforts of websites to offer professional services to users (e.g. online privacy, site language options, shopping carts, relevant advertising, etc.).
Cookies themselves do not request personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users. Personal data collected through the use of cookies can only be collected to facilitate certain functionalities for the user. Such data is encrypted in a way that makes it impossible for unauthorized persons to access it.
Cookies are not viruses! They use plain text formats. They are not made up of code segments so they cannot be executed or auto-run. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks to run or replicate again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.
However, cookies can be used for negative purposes. Since they store information about users' preferences and browsing history, both on a particular site and across multiple other sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this and constantly mark cookies for deletion in anti-virus/anti-spyware scanning and deletion procedures.
In general, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.

These cookies are used to deliver ads more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an ad and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
Disabling and refusing to receive cookies can make certain sites impractical or difficult to visit and use.
Also, refusing to accept cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive/see online advertising.
