2. Web Site Use
Information
Similar to other commercial Websites, our
Website utilizes a
standard technology called "cookies" (see
explanation below,
"What Are Cookies?") and web server log
files to collect
information about how our Web site is
used.
Information gathered through cookies and
Web server logs may
include the date and time of visits, the
pages viewed, time
spent at our Web site, and the Web sites
visited just before
and just after our Web site.
What Are
Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document,
which often includes an
anonymous unique identifier. When you
visit a Website, 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 Website 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 Website 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 Website 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 Website, 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

every time you are
connected to the Internet.
Your IP address is a number that is used
