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.

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

everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users'

changes in the future, we will not use the personal information you have

inconsistent with this Privacy Policy, without your prior consent.
