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.
