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.

helps us gather feedback to constantly improve our Web site and
better serve our clients. Cookies do not allow us to gather any
