Do Cookies Need to Be Enabled to Order?
Yes. MIVA Merchant, NCGR’s shopping software, maintains a shopper’s Session_ID using a session cookie that is stored on your machine. This Session_ID links you to your Shopping Basket. Each time a page is loaded, MIVA Merchant reads this cookie and keeps your shopping basket current. This is our only use of cookies on our site.
