What Are

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.

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

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.

time you are connected 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

the Web pages you request) can be sent to you.

legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms of Service or
