What Are

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

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.

managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
