Use of Cookies

As with all Web sites, www.cabbi.com logs certain information from each visitor such as which files are being accessed and the time of day. This information is used to help measure traffic to different parts of our Web site, improve our content, offer members-only discounts and content, and prevent malicious activity. “Cookies” are used as part of this process.

Security

All of the information that we collect is either stored electronically or is restricted in our offices. Only personnel who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information.
