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.

people visiting our Web site and which parts of the site are most
popular. This helps us gather feedback to constantly improve our
