Information Collection
When you visit our website we collect certain information about your visit that does not identify you personally. We can tell the type of computer, browser, and web service you are using. We also know the date and time you visit and the pages you visit. Collecting this information helps us design the site according to your needs.
Sometimes we use “cookies,” which are small amounts of text stored on your computer. We use both “session cookies” and “persistent cookies” across the site. Session cookies are most commonly used in some places where people can transact business. That means we only store the cookie on your computer during that visit. So, if you are entering information for a business transaction, you won’t lose the information if you go to another site and come back during the visit. After you turn off your computer or stop using the internet, the cookie is erased, unless you select the option of placing a permanent cookie on your computer so you will not have to log back in on subsequent visits. Persistent cookies are used in order to optimize user experience.
