Cookies are a feature of web browser software that allows web servers to recognize the computer used to access a web site. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by a user's web browser on the user's hard drive. Cookies can remember what information a user accesses on one web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that web site by the same user or to use the information to streamline the user's transactions on related web pages.

How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?

Cookies help us collect important business and technical statistics. The information in the cookies let us trace the paths followed by users to other Sites as they move from one page to another. Web server logs allow us to count how many people visit our site and evaluate our visitor capacity. We do not use these technologies to capture your individual email address or any personally identifying information about you although they would permit us to send focused online banner advertisements or other such responses to you. Sharing Information with Affiliates Although we do not do this at present, from time to time we may provide the opportunity for outside companies to advertise products or services we think would be of interest to customers on the site. We will take measures to select product and service providers that are responsible and afford privacy protections to their customers.
