Does Forkliftaction.com use "cookies"?

A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Cookies do not damage your system. We use cookies to help our web server identify you so the next time you visit, all pages that are reserved for identified members will be readily accessible. This system prevents you having to submit your individual login parameters (your email address and password) every time you want to visit web pages that are reserved for members only or when you want to access your account information.

This cookie is only set when you click the "Remember me" option before clicking the LOGIN button when you sign in.

How can members stop Forkliftaction.com from storing, or using their personal information as described above?

A member can cancel his registration with Forkliftaction.com or opt out of any Forkliftaction.com services from the unsubscribe page, accessible at any time through the website.

How can I access my account with Forkliftaction.com when I have forgotten my password?

To access the Forkliftaction.com website as a member, users must identify themselves to the web server. To sign on, users are asked to enter their email address and a password created by the member during the registration process or in his/her personal MY ACCOUNT pages.

If login fails or a member forgets his/her password, he/she may:

• like to receive a password reminder email, sent to him/her immediately after verification of some account details.
• like to receive a new password, sent to him/her after the Forkliftaction.com administrator established a positive identification of the member and his/her membership account.

The member will be prompted for the following personal information:

• First name
• Last name
• Email address
• Birth date
• Company name
• Post/zip code
• Country

This information is required to identify the member in the member database.

If the user requested his password reminder and the submitted information is matched with a member account in our system, we will supply the password reminder in an email message. The password reminder is a phrase the member creates with his/her password to remind him/her of the correct password.

If the member requested to receive a new password, the supplied information is sent in an email message to the Forkliftaction.com team (using our contact form) who will contact you for further assistance.

To protect its members, Forkliftaction.com will NOT supply a member's password to anybody in any circumstances. If the user is identified sufficiently, a new password will be created in the system, with a new password reminder.

Members can modify their personal passwords at any time when logged in on the website from the MY ACCOUNT pages in the website.
