Every computer connected to the World Wide Web is assigned both a domain name and an IP (Internet Protocol) address. When a visitor requests a page
from within our website, our servers automatically identify and log the request.
By itself, this information reveals nothing about you, personally. The only information automatically aggregated and logged is: the IP address of the site, if any, that referred you;
your IP address; the web page from which you may have linked to us; your browser type and operating system; and search words or phrases passed from search engines.
There is nothing unique about the aforementioned information and the practice of collecting such data has been generally standardized by virtually every web server on the market today.
The purpose for this information is actually two-fold. One, we have found it advantageous to examine visitor traffic in aggregate form, so that we
can ensure maximum compatibility for the various browsers and operating systems that visit our site. Additionally, as any organization would
attest, it is our desire to generate greater amounts of visitor traffic.
By analyzing visitation patterns, referring URLs and search engine phrases, we can strategically enhance our exposure on the web.
Cookies are small pieces of data that are transferred to your computer's hard drive through your web browser. They cannot read data from your hard disk. We use cookies to provide
personalization features to our visitors. For example, we utilize cookies to remember settings that you may have previously made at our website.
You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings on your web browser. Normally, by accessing the browser's help section, you can obtain information on how
to prevent your browser from accepting all cookies or to notify you when a cookie is being sent. If you choose not to accept cookies, your experience at our website (and others)
could be diminished.
We may also request your e-mail address or mailing address for the purposes of conducting surveys, adding you to our mailing list, or by your request to have someone contact you
for additional information about us. When we request your identity, we will clearly indicate the purpose of such an inquiry before the information is requested.
We will never sell, rent, lease, or give your e-mail address to a third-party. In addition, we will never send you e-mail that you have not agreed to receive. You will
only hear from us if you have joined our mailing list. In that case, you will be contacted with announcements and newsletters. There always will be an opt-out option,
which will disable future communications from being sent.
