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.

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.
