Information Storage: Beadsphere.com does not store any financial information for our customers.

Cookies: An HTTP magic cookie (usually called simply a cookie) is simply a packet of information sent by a server to a World Wide Web browser and then sent back by the browser each time it accesses that server. A cookie enables our server to remember data while you shop our store. We do not use cookies to store any personal or secure data. Cookies are required during shopping to add items and eventually go through the checkout process. At the end of your shopping session, cookie information used or set by Beadsphere is not retained. We do recommend that after you’re done with your visit, you set your cookies in your browser to expire after each visit to a web-page; this is an added measure of security for your benefit. Further reading on cookies and secure shopping is available on our links page.
