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.
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.
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
Information
We do not share, sell, lend or
lease any of the information that uniquely identify a
subscriber (such as email addresses or personal details)
with anyone except to the extent it is necessary to process
transactions or provide services that you have
requested.
How Can You Access and Correct Your

You may request access to all your
personally identifiable information that we collect online
and maintain in our database by emailing us at the usual

What About Legally
Compelled Disclosure of Information?
We may disclose

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.
