    Web site Use Information and "Cookies" Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a standard technology called "cookies" and Web server logs to collect information about how our Web site is used. Cookies are a feature of Web browser software that allows Web servers to recognize the computer used to access a Web site. They 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. We use session ID cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site during a particular visit. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the Web sites visited just before and just after our Web site. This information is collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information is associated with you as an individual. If your browser is set to reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use or navigate some areas of our site will be impaired.

    HOW DO WE USE THE INFORMATION THAT YOU PROVIDE TO US? Broadly speaking, we use your personal information for purposes of administering our business activities, providing customer service and making products and services available to you.
