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
Cookies?
As you 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 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 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.
IP Addresses
IP addresses are used by your computer every time you are
connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify
your computer. IP addresses are automatically collected by our web server as part of demographic and profile
data known as traffic data so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be sent to you.

other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal
rights. We may also disclose account information when we have reason to believe that disclosing this
information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our
Terms of Service or to protect the safety of our users and the Public.

on our computers in the United States. The laws on holding personal data in the United States may be less
stringent than the laws of your Country of residence or citizenship. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain
data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical,
electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out
This site allows visitors to unsubscribe so that they will not
receive future messages. After unsubscribing we will discontinue sending the particular messages as soon as
technically feasible.

changes are made to this privacy policy, we will email users who have given us permission to do so. We will
post any changes here, so be sure to check back periodically. However, please be assured that if the Privacy
