Like most Web sites, this site uses “cookies” to allow you to move more quickly through the site. Cookies are small text files a Web site can use to recognize repeat users and facilitate their ongoing access to and use of the site. Cookies do not by themselves collect identifying information; instead, they collect information related to the characteristics of your computer, or when and how you reached the site.
Generally, cookies work by assigning to the user a unique number that has no meaning outside the assigning site and do not pose a threat to a user’s system or files. We use this information only for purposes of planning and tracking, as well as assessing the technical function of our site. For instance, when you access a specific area of our site, the system will transfer a cookie to your browser so that when you return to this area of the site, you will not have to reenter your data to gain access to it. This cookie is only used to eliminate the need to duplicate your information. By understanding how our site is accessed, we can continually improve it to respond to users’ interests.
We may use cookies to track information about which pages you visit within our site in order to gauge the effectiveness of our content or to continue to refine the types of content that you may find interesting.
However, we cannot control the use of cookies by advertisers or third parties hosting data for us. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the cookie feature. Please note that cookies may be necessary to enable you to use certain features on our site.

If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify registered users via email. Users will have a choice, if any, as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner.
