What are cookies?

A cookie is a very small text file placed on a computer’s hard drive by a web page server to help users navigate websites and perform certain functions more efficiently. When the user browses the same website in the future, the data stored in the cookie can be retrieved by the website to notify the website of the user’s previous activity for a more efficient browsing experience. Cookies do not harm your computer in any way and are usually automatically deleted after a certain period of time. Cookies cannot be executed as malicious code or deliver viruses.

Does Quady Winery use cookies on its websites?

Yes. Like almost all websites, we use certain types of cookies on our sites to help them operate more effectively and offer our customers a better user experience. Most browsers have the ability to handle cookies with three options: allow, notify the user, or decline. You can set your browser to notify you when you have received a cookie, giving you the opportunity to decide whether to accept it.

We then aggregate this information with other pieces of information to improve and update our site to make your user experience as valuable and as efficient as possible. Cookies also allow us to store the personal preferences that you set during each visit to our site, which in turn allows us to speed up your future navigation activities on our site.
