Like many other commercial websites, the AMS Automotive OnLine website may use standard technology called a “cookie” to collect information about how you use the site. A cookie is a small data file that certain websites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as user ID that the site uses to track the pages you’ve visited, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply.

We do this in order to determine the usefulness of our website information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information.

You can also refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser, although you may not be able to take full advantage of the AMS Automotive OnLine’s website if you do. You do not need cookies turned on to use/navigate through many parts of our website, except access to certain of AMS Automotive OnLine’s web pages that require a login and password.

How We Protect Your Personal Information
All personal data you enter on AMS Automotive OnLine is encrypted with secure server software (SSL) that encodes the information before your web browser software sends it to us.

Once the data reaches our site, security software we use to guard our company's essential business data protects your personal data as well. Despite these reasonable efforts, you should be aware that transmissions by means of the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be secure. AMS Automotive has no liability for disclosure of your information due to errors or unauthorized acts.
