Use of Cookies and Web Beacons
We may use cookies to
help you personalize your online experience. Cookies are identifiers that are
transferred to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser to enable
our systems to recognize your browser. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the
Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you
personalize the sites pages, or register with any of our site’s services, a
cookie enables our company to recall your specific information on subsequent
visits.

A web beacon is a
transparent image file used to monitor your journey around a single website or
collection of sites. They are also referred to as web bugs and are commonly
used by sites that hire third-party services to monitor traffic. They may be
used in association with cookies to understand how visitors interact with the
pages and content on the pages of a web site.
We may serve
third-party advertisements that use cookies and web beacons in the course of
ads being served on our web site to ascertain how many times you’ve seen an
advertisement. No personally identifiable information you give us is provided
to them for cookie or web beacon use, so they cannot personally identify you
with that information on our web site.
Some third-party
advertisements may be provided by Google, which uses cookies to serve ads on this
site. Google uses the DART cookie, which enables it to serve ads to our users
based on their visits to this site and other sites on the Web. You may opt out
of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google
ad and content network privacy policy.
Browsers can be set to
accept or reject cookies or notify you when a cookie is being sent. Privacy
software can be used to override web beacons. Taking either of these actions
shouldn’t cause a problem with our site, should you so choose.
