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

hard drive or pass on computer viruses.

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

people visiting our Web site and which parts of the site are most
popular. This helps us gather feedback to constantly improve our

gather any personal information about you and we do not
intentionally store any personal information that your browser
