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.

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.
