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.
