A "cookie" is a small piece of information which a web server (via a CGI script) can store with a browser and later retrieve from that browser. The US Wings website employs a "shopping cart" that requires cookies, so your browser must be cookie-enabled for our "shopping cart" system to function properly. The cookie file allows your browser to remember specific information across a number of pages. In other words, when you browse through our online store and add items to your "shopping cart," the list of items you've added to your "cart" is kept in your browser's cookie file so you can pay for all the items at once when you're finished shopping.

We do not use our cookies to store any other information about you. Our cookies are simply tiny, inert pieces of data which allow our "shopping cart" to keep track of the item(s) you intend to purchase. Despite the popular myth, cookies are NOT capable of reading and retrieving sensitive, personal information about you from your computer files. The US Wings web site does not search for cookies left by other sites nor are our cookies accessible by any other website.
