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

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
