What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small strings of letters and numbers that a web page asks your browser to store. Lakeshore and many other Internet merchants use cookies to help keep track of the items in your shopping cart.

They simply help us fetch the products you have selected and allow us to place them on your order form when you click on the shopping cart/purchase icon. (Learn more about Privacy & Security.)

What Is JavaScript?

JavaScript is a computer programming language used to create interactive effects within web browsers. Lakeshore uses JavaScript to create order forms, animations, enhanced images and other features that improve your customer experience. For instance, this may include a function to automatically complete order forms with billing and shipping information that you previously provided to the website.
