Cookies
KTP uses a feature of your Internet web browser called a "cookie" to assign an identification code to your computer. Cookies are files that your web browser places on your computer's hard drive.

Our Commitment to Data Security
KTP wants to ensure the security of your personal and financial information while you are shopping on our web site. Please be aware that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as 100% secure. For this reason, we employ secure sockets layer (SSL) security measures to protect your personal information. Every page of the checkout process on the KTP web site uses SSL to transmit your personal information to our servers. Basically, SSL is a set of rules followed by computers connected to the Internet. These rules include encryption, which guards against eavesdropping; data integrity, which ensures that your communications aren't tampered with during transmission; and authentication, which verifies that the party actually receiving your communications is who it claims to be. For added protection, we urge you to close your browser window (or clear your cache) after shopping online to ensure you are logged out of your visit and / or online account. This is especially important when you are sharing a computer or using a computer with public access.
