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.

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 information when we have
reason to believe 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.

appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial
procedures to safeguard and secure the
