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 that your browser provided to us in your cookies.
IP Addresses
IP addresses are used by your computer every
time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number

addresses are automatically collected by our web server as part of
demographic and profile data known as traffic data so that data (such
as the Web pages you request) can be sent to you.

What About Legally Compelled

We may disclose information when legally
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
may also disclose account information when 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
