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.

faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal
rights. We may also disclose account information when we have reason to believe

legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms of Service or to
protect the safety of our users and the Public.

of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and
managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
