A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with NP Group. This policy is strictly enforced. NP Group knows that people have concerns about cookies, but it believes that the benefit we both gain from their proper use is worthwhile/ You may set your web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator) to notify you of cookie placement requests or decline cookies completely.
