data are: the name of your Internet service provider, the site that referred you
to us, any pages you request, and the time and date of those requests etc.

What are cookies?
A cookie is a small line of text that is stored within your browser when
you visit a cookie-enabled website. As you browse the Web, cookie-enabled sites
will send cookies to your browser, along with pages. Your browser probably has
options that will let you control whether the browser accepts cookies, rejects
cookies, or notifies you each time a cookie is sent to you.
If your browser is set to reject cookies, cookie-enabled websites will not
recognize you when you return. This provides you with anonymity, but it also
makes it very difficult to offer you customized services. It is also less secure
than using cookies, because all of your specific data must be sent to the
website each time you view a page. Accepting cookies means your private data can
stay at the Web server, and the only information transmitted over the Internet
is your ID cookie.
If your browser is set to accept cookies, any cookies that are sent to your
browser are stored in your computer for a period of time. There are a few
different types of cookies. A session cookie is stored only in your
computer's working memory (RAM) and only lasts for your browsing session. When
you close all of your browser's windows, or when you shut down your computer,
the session cookie disappears forever. A permanent cookie is stored on
your computer's hard drive until a specified date, which could be tomorrow, next
week, or 10 years from now. Permanent cookies stay on your computer until
either:
1. they expire
2 .they are overwritten with newer cookies
3. you manually remove them

request. We may also use this information to enhance our understanding of you
and improve our services.
