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.

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

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.

than the laws of your Country of residence or citizenship.

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.

changes are made to this privacy policy, we will email
users who have given us permission to do so. We will post
any changes here, so be sure to check back periodically.

in the future, we will not use the personal information

manner that is materially inconsistent with this Privacy
Policy, without your prior consent. |
