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.
IP
Addresses
IP addresses are used
by your computer every time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number that is used by
computers on the network to identify your computer. IP addresses are automatically collected by our web server as
part of demographic and profile data known as traffic data so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be
sent to you.

sell, lend or lease any of the information that uniquely identify a subscriber (such as email addresses or personal

it or for the protection of our legal rights. We may also disclose account information when we have reason to
believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone
who may be violating our Terms of Service or to protect the safety of our users and the
Public.

in the United States may be less stringent than the laws of your Country of residence or citizenship. To prevent
unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place
appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect
online.

sending the particular messages as soon as technically feasible.

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 this
