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.

appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information
we collect online.
