• Cookies: The CWC website uses 'cookies', which install information on a user’s computer. One cookie is generated and used to store each customer’s shopping cart on their computer. This allows customers to stop the order process if they are interrupted, and still access their shopping cart on without having to start over. All cookies are deleted after 72 hours. Customers may choose to decline cookies, if their browser permits, but will not be able to re-access their shopping cart if they do so.
