MEMBERSHIP SYSTEMS
Membership systems gives you control and security over who uses your website. Membership systems also let users customize their experience and content.

Our membership system technology features:

• Add new members interactively or only on approval
• Allows access only by authorized users
• Tracking of logged users
• Control over concurrent users (multiple-accesses by a single user)
• New member forms can be as simple or comprehensive as you want
• Secondary verification system deals with forgotten passwords
• Cascading forms offer control of the log in procedure
• Intranet administration capabilities makes maintenance quick and easy

If your site has a large amount of data based content (e.g., content which is searchable buy the user), you may wish to consider letting other websites also offer your content, as a partner to you. Most partners need the ability to modify your content to fit their website design. Our innovative PartnerLib technology allows you to achieve this and other important co-branding capabilities:

• You can have any number of Partners. A Partner offers your content under their own website look and feel.
• Each Partner can have any number of Affiliates. For example, if you are selling airfare you might offer your content to a Partner. That Partner might have a number of travel agents each of which act as an Affiliate to the Partner. Each Affiliate can customize your content, as dictated by the Partner.
• You can track everyone. Partners can track their own Affiliates and users, and Affiliates can track their own users.
• Your content can be customized individually, to the Partner and Affiliate level, as you dictate. Content is customized on-the-fly meaning that a simple update of your content instantly updates all your partners and affiliates automatically.
• Intuitive web-based interface allows you to customize your pages using HTML and other high-level commands without having to install special software.
• Built-in customer support module lets you watch, communicate and help users. As the user moves through your site, your browser automatically updates and shows you each page the user is seeing. You can send messages back and forth to the user, as well as control the users browser to show them how to do a particular activity in your site.

STICKY ENVIRONMENTS
Cookware Inc. Sticky Environments give you the ability to track users as they take links through your site... regardless of where that link takes the user. For example, if you have clients who are advertising on your site, if the user takes a link to their site you can follow them completely through that other site, link for link.

There are two advantages to this technology. First, it gives you a way to get the user back into your site. Not only can we track the user as they leave your site, we can also modify the content they see. For example, if the user takes a link to a clients site, the clients site might appear along with new navigation buttons that are for YOUR site, not the clients site. Our technology dynamically inserts your navigation buttons regardless of what page the user sees from the clients site.

The second advantage is in providing a means to see what your users are interested in, as they surf the internet via links from your site. Since our technology tracks each page, link and form submission by the user, you have a complete log of their interests.

Use of our Sticky Environment technology must be made with the permission of whatever sites you wish to track, since modifying a sites content without permission is a copyright violation.

CUSTOM SHOPPING CARTS
There are many off-the-shelf shopping carts, but most dictate your options. A custom shopping cart will allow you to specify how product information is presented, receipt information, email notification and tie-ins to order tracking and fulfillment.

Our technology can provide customized shopping systems specifically designed for your needs. Our cart technology can tie in with any database, remote or local, as well as with most internet credit card debiting systems.

Our database driven solutions allow you to create tax tables, shipping tables, advanced receipts, order tracking, and any other report and tracking needs your site might require.

Since our technology does not dictate a look or feel, it can integrate into any website design and can run either local to your website, or remote on external servers (or we can host it for you, as well).

CREDIT CARD TIE-IN
Credit card tie-ins are a must for any site providing on-line products or services.

Most credit card tie-ins offer you multiple ways to do the debit, from the very simple to the totally customizable. The problem comes in the fact that in most sites, you wish the shopping experience and credit card debit to appear to be seamless within your site. This requires you to provide special programs in order to take advantage of your credit card tie-in customization features.

Most companies do not have the time nor expertise to provide the proper tie-in software, and thus settle for the less attractive tie-in mechanisms that their credit card service offers.

Our technology can interface with almost every internet debitor and can provide you with a customizable solution that exactly provides the look, feel and integration that you are looking for.

DATA MINING
Does your site need to incorporate content from other sites? If so, let our data mining expertise assist you in providing a seamless display of remote content within your website.

Our data mining technology can provide both real-time mining, as well as batch mining of external content. The content can be either integrated on-the-fly or placed in your own databases for further manipulation.

Our technology can mine any data, as long as it is available on the internet, regardless of the data format. This includes pictures, audio, animations and other non-standard formats (with the exception of streaming data). Depending on the data type, our mining technology can also provide conversion between formats.

WAP and XML
Cookware has extensive knowledge and experience in non-HTML protocol's such as WAP and XML.

Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) allows your users to access your web content via their cellular phones, pagers and other hand-held devices. Our WAP technology can convert your browser-formatted content and pages into WAP formatted pages that are designed specifically for the type of device accessing your site.

Cookware also provides a full range of XML services, from data mining in XML format, to delivering your content to remote servers in XML. Our technology can take your standard HTML content and reformat it, on the fly, in XML. Likewise, we can receive XML data from external servers and integrate it seamlessly within your website environment.

Custom UNIX and OSX Software
Cookware has over 20 years of software coding experience and can provide customized solutions for the UNIX (SUN solaris and other platforms) and OSX (Apple platforms). Besides database technology we are also experts in network, internet, extranet and intranet design and communications.

As an example of our code skills visit TQworld. TQworld hosts tranquility, a game written for Apple computers. Cookware software powers the entire server side of the game (SUN) as well as the communications portion of the OSX game client (Apple).
