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.

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
