Use of Cookies
The SKM Homes Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online
experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page
server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.
Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the
domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save
you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned
to a specific page. For example, if you personalize SKM Homes pages, or register
with SKM Homes site or services, a cookie helps SKM Homes to recall your specific
information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your
personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on.
When you return to the same SKM Homes Web site, the information you previously provided
can be retrieved, so you can easily use the SKM Homes features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies
if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience
the interactive features of the SKM Homes services or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
SKM Homes secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.
SKM Homes secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer
servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access,
use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted

Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

SKM Homes will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company
and customer feedback. SKM Homes encourages you to periodically review this Statement
