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.
