Cookies:

A cookie is a small text file stored on a user's computer for record-keeping purposes. Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies. A session cookie expires when you close your browser and is used for easier website navigation. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period.

For example, when you sign in to our website, we may store your user ID and account name in a cookie file on your computer. We may also store your password in this file if you choose to save it for automatic sign-in. For security purposes, we will encrypt any sensitive data stored in cookies. We may allow our authorized service providers to use cookies to assist us in various activities, such as analyzing the effectiveness of our site and advertising.

You may delete or decline cookies by changing your browser settings. If you do so, some features of our website may not function properly.

We may allow third parties, including advertising companies and ad networks, to display advertisements on our site. These companies may use tracking technologies, such as cookies, to collect information about users who view or interact with their advertisements. Our website does not provide any personal information to these third parties, but they may collect information about your interaction with the advertisements they deliver and possibly associate this information with your subsequent visits to the advertised websites. They also may combine this information with personal information they collect from you. The collection and use of that information is subject to the third-party's privacy policy. This information allows them to deliver targeted advertisements and gauge their effectiveness.

Web Beacons:

Web beacons (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags, or web bugs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, used to track the online movements of web users or to access cookies. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the user's computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages (or in email).

Web beacons may be used to deliver or communicate with cookies, count users who have visited certain pages, and understand usage patterns. We may also receive an anonymous identification number if you come to our site from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website.
