specific profile ID, the browser you are using, the Web page from which you came, and
a record of your activity on our site. We use this information to learn more about general

How does Applied Circuits use cookies?
A cookie is a small file, typically only a few bytes, placed on your computer's hard drive.
If you agree, then your browser adds the text in a small file. At Applied Circuits, we primarily use
cookies to tailor a Web application to you. We also use cookies to help us analyze Web
traffic. By gathering and remembering information about your preferences, a Web
application can tailor its operation to your needs, likes, and dislikes. A cookie also
makes it easy to shop online because with it, you can add items to a shopping cart. The
cookie is placed on your hard drive and keeps track of your cart and the items in it
versus other carts in use at the same time.
By accepting cookies, we do not gain access to your computer or any personal
information about you, other than the data you chose to share with us. We do not store
any personal information in the cookies we place on your computer. This practice
is strictly enforced. In talking with many of our customers, we believe that the benefit we
both gain from their proper use is worthwhile.
Is my information shared with third parties?
To keep your information confidential, Applied Circuits does not release your personal information,
except as we describe below or as required by law. We only use the personal
information we collect to support and develop your relationship with Applied Circuits, our affiliates, and
our strategic business partners as described below. Some of these partners and
affiliates may be located in other countries.
Release of Information
Applied Circuits reserves the right to release any information about you to protect our systems or
business. Also, we can release personal information when we reasonably believe you to
be in violation of our current or later Web site Terms of Use or other published
guidelines, or reasonably believe you to have initiated or participated in any illegal
activity. We can release this information without a subpoena, warrant, or other court
order in response to court and governmental orders, civil subpoenas, discovery
requests, and other legal requirements.

in public areas of our Web site, such as the MiniLab Discussion

trade shows or conventions, becomes public information that others may collect,
