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

prevent you from having to log in more than is necessary
for security. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web

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

information about you and we do not intentionally store
any personal information that your browser provided to us
in your cookies.
