Grandpa's Privacy Policy

Cookies~ I love cookies! The first time I heard about them, I thought These must be awesome! But then, I began to see that not everyone looked at 'cookies' the way I did...

We LOVE your privacy! I know a lot of places claim this, but in our case, it is actually true. We respect everyone's right to go about their every day life without somebody following them, keeping track of all their movements, just so they can advertise to them. So, here we talk about cookies, what information our cookies contain, and how Grandpa's uses cookies to make your visit more pleasing.
