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.

time you are connected to the Internet. Your

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

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 may also disclose account

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.

we have put in place appropriate physical,
electronic, and managerial procedures to
safeguard and secure the information we

We may change this Privacy Policy from time
to time. If/when changes are made to this
privacy policy, we will email users who have
given us permission to do so. We will post
any changes here, so be sure to check back
periodically. However, please be assured
that if the Privacy Policy changes in the
future, we will not use the personal
