We may also offer certain features that are only available through the use of a cookie. Among other reasons why we use cookies, cookies allow you to enter your password less frequently during a session. Cookies can also help us provide information which is targeted to your interests or service needs. Cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our site.

Sharing of Information
Further, we can (and you authorize us to) disclose your name, street address, city, state, zip code, country, phone number, email, and company to ExpenseWire.com participants as we in our sole discretion believe necessary or appropriate in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or other unlawful activity. Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications will remain private. SecurityExpenseWire.com uses industry standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal identifiable information, such as firewalls, system security measures and Secure Socket Layers (SSL). Please be advised that "perfect security" does not exist in commercial Internet applications and that such security measures may not prevent all loss, misuse or alteration of information on our web sites. The registration pages, where you enter your personal and credit card information, are secure. This means that any information you send us is protected by encryption. It is easy to tell when you are protected by encryption - your browser displays a lock or a key which is no longer broken or it changes color when you are on a secure page. The actual icon and its location may vary depending on your browser. For example, Netscape has a "Security" padlock icon at the top of the page, which closes when you have entered a secure page. Internet Explorer displays a closed padlock at the bottom of the page when a page is secure. Except as specifically permitted by this section, you may not disclose your ExpenseWire.com password to any third parties nor share it with any third parties. If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personally identifiable information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately change your password. You may, however, disclose your password to certain third parties with whom ExpenseWire.com has entered into specific contractual and technical arrangements designed to safeguard your password ("Authorized Password Users"), in order to enjoy the benefits of those third parties' services in relation to the ExpenseWire.com services.
