Overview of Use of Services and Information Collected

For each visitor to or user of Bill’s Cafe’s Services, Bill’s Cafe’s Web server automatically recognizes and stores computer-readable information, such as the visitor’s IP address and domain name combination.

When you visit or use the Services, Bill’s Cafe may use "cookies" to store certain information on your computer that allows us to customize your visit to Bill’s Cafe’s Services or to simply facilitate signing in to the Services. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but your browser settings can be adjusted to erase or block cookies or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please refer to your browser instructions or help screen to learn more about these functions.

In order to provide some of our services to you, including on-line purchases or comment entries, Bill’s Cafe may ask for some of your personal information, including your email address, name, mailing address, telephone number, or persistent identifier (such as a customer number held in a cookie). You should provide such personal information accurately, so we can communicate with you, perform services for you, or process your requests relating to any of your information that we have.
