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.

information when legally compelled to do so, in 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.

We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked to or from our
Web site or the information or content contained therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided solely as
pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our Web site.

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.

Modifications We may change this Privacy Policy
