There are four different types of information that this site may collect during your visit, as listed below: 1. Network Traffic Logs In the course of ensuring network security and consistent service for all users, we employs software programs to monitor network traffic, identify unauthorized access or access to nonpublic information, and monitor the performance of our site. In the course of such monitoring, these programs may detect such information as e-mail headers, addresses from network packets, and other information. Information from these activities is used only for the purpose of maintaining the security and performance of our web site. Personally identifiable information from these activities is not released to external parties without your consent unless required by law. 2.

This information includes the pages visited on the site, the date and time of the visit, the internet address (URL or IP address) of the referring site, the domain name and IP address from which the access occurred, the version of browser used, and the capabilities of the browser.

If you prefer not to receive cookies, you may turn them off in your browser, or may set your browser to ask you before accepting a new cookie. Some pages may not function properly if the cookies are turned off. Unless otherwise notified on this site, we will not store data, other than for these two purposes, in cookies.

Any personally identifiable information you send us will be used only for the purpose indicated. We will not sell, exchange or otherwise distribute your personally identifiable information without your consent, except to the extent required by law. We do not retain the information longer than necessary for normal operations. Each web page requesting information discloses the purpose of that information. If you do not wish to have the information used in that manner, you are not required to provide it. Our web site provides links to other World Wide Web sites or resources.
