What Are "Cookies" and How Are They Used
To enhance your experience with the Site, we must use "cookies."
Cookies are text files we place on your
computer to store your preferences. Cookies,
by themselves, do not tell us your email address or other personally
identifiable information. However, once
you choose to furnish the Site with personally identifiable information, this
information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie.
We use cookies to understand site usage and to improve the content and offerings
on the Site. For example, we may use
cookies to personalize your experience at our web pages (e.g. to recognize you
by name when you return to the Site). We
may also use small pieces of code called "web beacons" (also known as "clear
gifs" or "pixel tags") to collect anonymous and aggregate advertising metrics,
such as counting page views, promotion views, or advertising responses.
These "web beacons" may be used in
conjunction with cookies that conform to our cookie policy.
Sale of Our Corporation
As in any business venture, the sale, merger or declaration of bankruptcy of the
company is always a possibility. Should
Wave Cigarettes ever declare bankruptcy or should it or its assets ever be
acquired by or merged into another organization, all customer information we
have collected will be treated as an asset and may be transferred to a third
party.

We may also disclose your information when we determine it is necessary to
comply with applicable laws or protect the interests or safety of Wave
