2. Web Site Use Information

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.

We do not share, sell, lend or lease any of the information that uniquely identify a subscriber (such as email
addresses or personal details) with anyone except to the extent it is necessary to process transactions or provide
services that you have requested.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these
surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this
information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and
demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and
award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of
