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.

We do not share, sell, lend or lease any of the information that
uniquely identify a subscriber (such as email addresses or personal details) with anyone except to
the extent it is necessary to process transactions or provide services that you have
requested.

We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in
other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our
legal rights. We may also disclose account information when we have reason to believe that
disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone
who may be violating our Terms of Service or to protect the safety of our users and the
Public.
What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site?
We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites
linked to or from our Web site or the information or content contained therein. Often links to
other Web sites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the

our computers in the United States. The laws on holding personal data in the United 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

receive future messages. After unsubscribing we will discontinue sending the particular messages as
soon as technically feasible.
