What Are Cookies?
A
cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous
unique identifier. When you visit a website, 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 website 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 website 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 website, 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
website and which parts of the site are most popular. This helps us
gather feedback to constantly improve our website 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.
