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.

IP addresses are used by your computer every time you are connected to
the Internet. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers on
