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

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.
