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.

We do not share, sell, lend or lease any of the information that uniquely
identify a

the extent it is necessary to process transactions or provide services that you
have requested.

collect online and maintain in our database by emailing us at the usual address.
What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information?
We may disclose information when 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.

We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked to or from
