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.
How Do We Use Information We Collect
from Cookies?
As you login on our Web site, the site uses its
cookies to differentiate you from other users
so your
data is only available to you. In some
cases, we also use cookies to prevent you from
loging 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 in order to constantly
improve our web site and better serve our customers.
Cookies
do not allow us to gather any personal information
about you and we do not generally store any personal
information that you provided to us in your cookies.

other business arrangements with third parties

interest
to you. In connection with alliances, partnerships
or arrangements, we may also provide certain
information to third parties if we have determined
that the

transfer such information in the course of
corporate divestitures, mergers, or any dissolution.
