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

IP addresses are 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.
Sharing

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.
