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

compelled to do so, in other words, when we,
in good faith, believe that the law requires
it or for the protection of our legal rights.

we have reason to believe that disclosing this
information is necessary 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

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to
time. If/when changes are made to this privacy
policy, we will email users who have given us
permission to do so. We will post any changes
here, so be sure to check back periodically.
