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?

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.
