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.

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
