The Information We Gather

We gather two types of information about users:

1. Tracking Information
Tracking information is information that is collected about every visitor to the site, and is automatically gathered using "cookies". A "cookie" is a computer (text) file that is sent to a visitor's Web browser, by a Web server, in order to remember certain information. Per-session cookies are used on this site to store information within a session. Per-session cookies are only available while you are on the web site, do not permanently record data and are not stored on your computer's hard drive. Unlike persistent cookies, which are stored ion your hard drive for a length of time set by the web site, per session cookies are cached (stored in memory) while you are visiting the web site. If per-session cookies were not used, moving around the web site would be a much slower process.

You can set your browser to detect and reject cookies. Your Internet browser may provide instructions on how to do this.

2. Personal Information
