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.
Sharing and Selling

We do not share, sell, lend

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.

effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other web site,

stringent than the laws of your Country of residence or

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.

sending the particular messages as soon as technically

Policy from time to time. If/when 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
