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.

helps us gather feedback to constantly improve our Web site and
better serve our clients. Cookies do not allow us to gather any
