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.

collected by our web server as part of demographic and profile data known
as traffic data so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be
sent to you.

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

will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information

will email users who have given us permission to do so. We will post any
changes here, so be sure to check back periodically. However, please be
assured that if the Privacy Policy changes in the future, we will not use
the personal information you have submitted to us under this Privacy
