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.
6.2. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize NAUTILUS pages, or register with NAUTILUS site or services, a cookie helps NAUTILUS to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. When you return to the same NAUTILUS website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the NAUTILUS features that you customized.

If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the NAUTILUS services or websites you visit.

We May also participate in interest-based advertising using similar technology. This means that you may see advertising on our Sites tailored to how you browse or your other internet activities, or you may see advertising for NAUTILUS and its projects on other websites based on your browsing behavior across websites. Some websites where may advertise belong to ad networks that use your web browsing history to choose which ads to display on their network websites; these ads include advertising for NAUTILUS and its Sites, but no Personal Information about you is shared with those third party ad networks. Other websites where you see our ads may use interest preferences that you have chosen on those sites, as well as registration and other information about you, to choose which ads to display to you. Some internet browsers, websites such as Facebook, and mobile devices offer opt-outs for interest-based advertising. Please refer to the website that you are visiting, your browser and/or your device settings for additional information.
You can opt-out of receiving interest-based ads from third parties who are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or who follow the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising by visiting the opt-out pages on the NAI website (http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/) and DAA website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices/).
8. Security of Your Personal Information

We use reasonable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to secure the Personal Information you share with us. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
