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.

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

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.
