practices may be different than the practices described herein, and we urge you to read each website's
privacy policy carefully before you use or submit information to that site. Additionally, to the extent

When you visit this Site, we leave a "Cookie" in the memory of your Web browser. The site will
only function properly if Cookies are enabled. www.laphroaig.com uses persistent Cookies to authenticate you as a user and
display content that is relevant and specific to you. Cookies are very small files that store information
about your visit to and use of this Site. Most major commercial Internet sites use them and they make your
Internet-surfing more useful and less time-consuming for you because they store information that is reusable
each time you visit this Site, such as birthday and other preferences you have chosen to share with us.
Cookies cannot access and read the files on your hard drive and cannot be used as a virus. They do allow us
to provide information and products that are more meaningful to you without asking you the same questions
every time you visit us. You may get Cookies from our advertisers. We cannot pre-screen these Cookies
since they come directly to you from other sites. We hope you will want the better service that Cookies
allow, but if you prefer, you can set your browser to refuse Cookies. However by doing that, you will not

In order to facilitate the transfer of data between the US and EU
countries, the US and the EU have entered into a "safe harbor program," under
which data can be transferred from the EU to participating non-EU companies. The
program has a set of seven principles, to which BEAM GLOBAL complies
with respect to the data collected and used as described in this Privacy Policy.
As part of that program, while we strive to respond to your concerns, we recognize that we may not always answer all of your questions, and as such if you are an
EU resident, we will participate with the Data Protection Authority in the country in which you reside. Thus to the extent that you feel that your questions have not
been answered, and you are a resident of an EU Member country, you should feel free to contact the Data Protection Authority of the country in which you reside.
This policy is effective as of May 3, 2007
