b. Use of Cookies
LoneStarQuotes, LLC may use cookies to personalize
or enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small text
file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server.
Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses
to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and
can only be read by a Web Server in the domain that issued
the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is
to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example,
if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site,
a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information
on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of
delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing
and saving your preferences and login information as well
as providing personalized functionality..
LoneStarQuotes, LLC reserves the right to
share aggregated site statistics with partner companies, but
does not allow other companies to place cookies on our website
unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value (such
as merging into LoneStarQuotes, LLC.com a site that relies
on third-party cookies).
You have the ability to accept or decline
cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but
you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies.
If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings then
be aware that this may disable some of the functionality on
our Website.

services. When you register, we will request some personal
information such as name, address, email, telephone number
or facsimile number, account number and other relevant information.

information. Any financial information we collect is used
only to bill you for the services you purchased. If you purchase
by credit card, this information may be forwarded to your
credit card provider. For other types of registrations, we
will ask for the relevant information. You may also be asked
to disclose personal information to us so that we can provide
assistance and information to you. For example, such data
may be warranted in order to provide online technical support
and troubleshooting.
We will not disclose personally identifiable
information we collect from you to third parties without your
permission except to the extent necessary including:

4. USE OF WEB BEACONS OR GIF FILES
[Insert Name of Company/Web Address] Web pages may contain
electronic images known as Web beacons – sometimes also
called single-pixel gifs – that allow LoneStarQuotes,
LLC to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver
co-branded services. LoneStarQuotes, LLC may include Web beacons
in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to
determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by
third party service providers to help determine the effectiveness
of our advertising campaigns or email communications. These
Web beacons may be used by these service providers to place
a persistent cookie on your computer. This allows the service
provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain
pages or emails and compile anonymous information in relation
to those page views, which in turn enables us and our service
providers to learn which advertisements and emails bring you
to our website and how you use the site. LoneStarQuotes, LLC
prohibits Web beacons from being used to collect or access
your personal information.
