Cookies

When you visit this Site, we leave a "Cookie" in the memory of your Web browser. The site will only function properly if Cookies are enabled. www.Ardmore.com uses persistent Cookies to authenticate you as a user and display content that is relevant and specific to you. Cookies are very small files that store information about your visit to and use of this Site. Most major commercial Internet sites use them and they make your Internet-surfing more useful and less time-consuming for you because they store information that is reusable each time you visit this Site, such as birthday and other preferences you have chosen to share with us. Cookies cannot access and read the files on your hard drive and cannot be used as a virus. They do allow us to provide information and products that are more meaningful to you without asking you the same questions every time you visit us. You may get Cookies from our advertisers. We cannot pre-screen these Cookies since they come directly to you from other sites. We hope you will want the better service that Cookies allow, but if you prefer, you can set your browser to refuse Cookies. However by doing that, you will not be able to access www.ardmore.com.

In order to facilitate the transfer of data between the US and EU countries, the US and the EU have entered into a "safe harbor program," under which data can be transferred from the EU to participating non-EU companies. The program has a set of seven principles, to which BEAM SUNTORY complies with respect to the data collected and used as described in this Privacy Policy. As part of that program, while we strive to respond to your concerns, we recognize that we may not always answer all of your questions, and as such if you are an EU resident, we will participate with the Data Protection Authority in the country in which you reside. Thus to the extent that you feel that your questions have not been answered, and you are a resident of an EU Member country, you should feel free to contact the Data Protection Authority of the country in which you reside.

This policy is effective as of January 1, 2016
