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.
IP Addresses

to the Internet. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers
on the network to identify your computer. IP addresses are automatically
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.

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.
