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.

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.
