(2) Cookie Policy

Like many online services, we use cookies to collect information ("Cookies"). Cookies are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer's hard drive while you are viewing the website. Cookies help (i) webmasters understand how Users interact with their site's content and services, (ii) track a User's activities on a website, and (iii) record information about the User so when the User returns to the site, customized features can be provided.

Good Seed may use both session cookies and persistent cookies to provide you with an interactive experience. A session cookie is a line of text that is stored temporarily in your web browser's memory reserve, and will expire when the browser is closed; a session cookie is not placed on any hard drive, and it is destroyed as soon as you close your browser. A persistent cookie is saved to a file on your hard drive and is accessed whenever you re-visit the website that put it there. This lets that website remember what you were interested in the last time you visited.
