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?

use cookies to prevent you from having to log in more than is necessary for security. Cookies, in conjunction with

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.
