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.

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.
