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

calculate the aggregate number of people visiting our Web site

gather feedback to constantly improve our Web site and better

personal information about you and we do not intentionally
store any personal information that your browser provided to us
