An Internet cookie is typically a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web server.  A primary purpose of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits, which simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized functionality.  Your web browser gives you the ability to decline cookies; you can modify your browser settings to achieve this.  However, if you do so, your experience on the Site may be less optimized, and you may not have access to some Site functionality.

In addition, we may use web beacons, small snippets of code that allow a website to transfer or collect information through a graphic image request, and that may assist the Site with regard to Site usage analytics, advertising auditing and reporting, and content and advertising personalization.  Some of these web beacons may be placed by third-party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of advertising campaigns or e-mail communications. Web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie on your computer, which permits the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or e-mails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views, which in turn enables us and our service providers to learn which advertisements and e-mails bring you to the Site and how you use the Site.  We reserve the right to share such aggregate statistics and anonymized personal information with such advertisers and partner companies.  In addition, this information is used as part of web analytics to optimize the Site for our users.
