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.

lease any of the information that uniquely identify a subscriber (such as email addresses or personal details) with

protection of our legal rights. We may also disclose account information when we have reason to believe that

violating our Terms of Service or to protect the safety of our users and the Public.

States may be less stringent than the laws of your Country of residence or citizenship. To prevent unauthorized
access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate
physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out

unsubscribe so that they will not receive future messages. After unsubscribing we will discontinue sending the
particular messages as soon as technically feasible.
