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.

connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number that

request) can be sent to you.

other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law
requires it or for the protection of our legal rights. We
may also disclose account information when we have reason
to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to
identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who
may be violating our Terms of Service or to protect the
safety of our users and the Public.

appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures
to safeguard and secure the information we collect
