Privacy Policy

We understand that visitors to our site have legitimate concerns about what we do with information that you supply or that is gathered through the use of log files or "cookies" when you browse our site.

We will not share or sell any personal information obtained from you with any other organization, unless required by law to do so.

Visitor Information

We use logfiles and "cookies" to gather information for two purposes:

* When you enter our site we collect and store in a logfile the following information about your visit:

• the name of the domain from which you access the Internet (i.e., aol.com, if you are connecting from an America Online account);
• the date and time you access our site; and
• the address of the web site from which you linked to our site.

* This information is used to determine site usage and to determine how we can improve the services provided. We use this information to create summary statistics, which are used for web site planning and maintenance and to analyze system performance. This information tells us the number of visitors to the different sections of our site and helps us understand if our site is meeting the needs of our visitors. It contains no personal information and is used for statistical purposes only.

What Are Cookies?

A cookie is simply a small piece of information. They’re sent by a Web server, along with a Web page, to your browser when you access a Web site.

If your browser accepts the cookie, its data is usually stored in a file on your local hard drive. Then when you return to the site that issued the cookie, the Web server checks this file to determine if you’ve visited the site before.

Note: A Web server can only retrieve information from a cookie it created. It can’t look at other cookies to gather more information.

Cookies can serve several purposes:

• Show that you’ve previously visited a site;
• Be used by different programs (such as our shopping software) to increase the usefulness of features on the site;
• Present Web pages you customize.

Some people don’t like the idea of a Web site gathering information about them and/or writing data to their computer. You can set your browser to warn you when a cookie is requested, and decide whether or not to accept. Be aware, though, that by rejecting a cookie some or all of the features available on the site may not function properly.
