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.

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.
What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web
Site?
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.

on our computers in the United States. The laws on holding personal data in the United States may be less stringent
than the laws of your Country of residence or citizenship. 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.
Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out This site allows visitors to unsubscribe so that they will not receive future

be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or

In the event that the web site (or a substantial portion of
its assets) is acquired, your information would be considered part of those assets, and may be part of those assets
that are transferred.
Policy Modifications We may change this Privacy 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 to check back periodically. However, please be assured that if the Privacy Policy changes in the future,
we will not use the personal information you have submitted to us under this Privacy Policy in a manner that is
materially inconsistent with this Privacy Policy, without your prior consent.
