What Are Cookies?
Cookies are a feature of Web browser software that allows Web servers
to recognize the computer used to access a Web site. Cookies are small
pieces of data that are stored by a user’s Web browser on the user’s hard
drive. Cookies can remember what information a user accesses on one Web
page to simplify subsequent interactions with that Web site by the same
user or to use the information to streamline the user’s transactions on
related Web pages. This makes it easier for a user to move from Web page
to Web page and to complete commercial transactions over the Internet.
Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalized.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
We use Web site browser software tools such as cookies and Web server

user-friendliest manner and to continually improve our Web site to better
meet the needs of our customers and prospective customers.
Cookies help us collect important business and technical statistics. The
information in the cookies lets us trace the paths followed by users to
our Web site as they move from one page to another. Web server logs allow
us to count how many people visit our Web site and evaluate our Web site’s
visitor capacity. We do not use these technologies to capture your individual
email address or any personally identifying information about you although
they do permit us to send focused online banner advertisements or other
such responses to you.

en route and decoded once it reaches our Web site.
Other email that you may send to us may not be secure unless we advise
you that security measures will be in place prior to your transmitting
the information. For that reason, we ask that you do not send confidential
information such as Social Security or account numbers to us through an
unsecured email.

to safeguard the confidentiality of personal information we collect from

our operations and business practices are reviewed for compliance with
corporate policies and procedures governing the security, confidentiality
and quality of our information.
Employee Access, Training and Expectations. Our corporate values,
ethical standards, policies and practices are committed to the protection
of customer information. In general, our business practices limit employee
access to confidential information, and limit the use and disclosure of
such information to authorized persons, processes and transactions.
