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.

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.
