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 that is used by computers on the network

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.

identifiable information that we collect online and

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 Service or
to protect the safety of our users and the Public.

maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use
of information, we have put in place appropriate
physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to
safeguard and secure the information we collect
