A cookie is
a very small text document, which often
includes an anonymous unique identifier.

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.

Use Information We Collect from
Cookies?
As you visit

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.

address is a number that is used by
computers on the network to identify your

collected by our web server as part of
demographic and profile data known as
traffic data so that data (such as the Web
pages you request) can be sent to
you.
Sharing and
Selling Information

compelled to do so, in other words, when
we, in good faith, believe that the law
requires it or for the protection of our
legal rights. We

we have reason to believe that disclosing

contact or bring legal action against
someone who may be violating our Terms of
