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.

addresses are used by your computer every time you are connected to

sent to you.
