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.
