2. Web Site Use
Information
Similar to other commercial Websites, our
Website utilizes a
standard technology called "cookies" (see
explanation below,
"What Are Cookies?") and web server log files
to collect
information about how our Web site is used.
Information gathered through cookies and Web
server logs may
include the date and time of visits, the pages
viewed, time
spent at our Web site, and the Web sites
visited just before
and just after our Web site.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which
often includes an
anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a
Website, 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 Website 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 Website 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 Website 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 Website, 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.

Surveys & Contests

from users via
surveys or contests. Participation in these
surveys or contests
is completely voluntary and the user therefore
has a choice
whether or not to disclose this

information (such
as zip code, age level). Contact information
will be used to
notify the winners and award prizes.

online surveys we also sell and/or share our

(ezines).
Whilst subscription to these newsletters is
voluntary, this
Website allows visitors to unsubscribe so that
they will not
receive future messages. After unsubscribing we
will
discontinue sending the particular messages as
soon as
technically feasible.
When publishing ezines, we may also sell and/or
share our
subscribers’ email addresses with other online
businesses.

unsupervised and
we ask that children under the age of 16 do not

time.
If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we
will post those
changes to this Web page so please check back
periodically.
