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.

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
