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.

accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have
put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial
procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect

changes are made to this privacy policy, we will email users
who have given us permission to do so. We will post any changes
here, so be sure to check back periodically. However, please be
assured that if the Privacy Policy changes in the future, we
