What Are
Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text
document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a Web site, that site's computer
asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for
cookies. Each Web site can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to
protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not
the cookies sent to you by other sites. Browsers are usually set to accept cookies. However, if you would prefer
not to receive cookies, you may alter the configuration of your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose to have
your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some areas of our site will not function as effectively when
viewed by the users. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive or pass on computer
viruses.
How Do We Use Information We
Collect from Cookies?
As you visit and browse our Web
site, the site uses cookies to differentiate you from other users. In some cases, we also use cookies to prevent
you from having to log in more than is necessary for security. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's log
files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting our Web site and which parts of the site
are most popular. This helps us gather feedback to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our clients.
Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal information about you and we do not intentionally store any
personal information that your browser provided to us in your cookies.
