Similar to
other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a standard technology

is associated with you as an individual.
How Do
We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
Broadly

business activities, providing customer service and making available
other products and services to our customers and prospective customers.
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you

we think you will find valuable. The lists used to send you product and
service offers are developed and managed under our traditional corporate
standards designed to safeguard the security and privacy of our
customers’ personal information. As a customer, you will be given the
opportunity, at least once annually, to notify us of your desire not to

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 logs to gather

constantly improve our Web site and better serve our customers. This
information assists us to design and arrange our Web pages in the most
user-friendly 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

or other such responses to you.
Sharing
Information with Affiliates
From time to
time you may notice offers from outside companies advertised on our Web
