A cookie typically includes a unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a website’s computers and then stored on your computer's hard drive. Cookies cannot obtain information from your hard drive, destroy files, or transmit viruses. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser, if your browser's preferences allow it. To protect your privacy, your browser normally only permits a website to access cookies that it has previously sent to you, but not cookies sent to you by other sites.

We use Google Analytics to collect information about your use of our Website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit our Website, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other websites they used prior to coming to our Website. We use this information only to improve our Website and Services. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit our Website, and does not collect your name or other identifying information. Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user, but the cookie can only be utilized by Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to our Website is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to our Website by disabling cookies on your browser.

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We also urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Website like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Website.

The transmission of information via the Internet is never completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk, and we are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on our Website.

If you have any questions about security on our Websites, or if you become aware of any unauthorized use of an account, loss of your account credentials, or suspect a security breach, notify us immediately via the methods provided at the end of this Privacy Policy.
