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
