What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which often
includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a Web site, that
site's computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in
a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each Web
site can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's
preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only
permits a Web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not
the cookies sent to you by other sites. Browsers are usually set to
accept cookies. However, if you would prefer not to receive cookies, you
may alter the configuration of your browser to refuse cookies. If you
choose to have your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some
areas of our site will not function as effectively when viewed by the
users.
A cookie cannot
retrieve any other data from your hard drive or pass on computer
viruses.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
As you visit and browse our Web site, the site uses
cookies to differentiate you from other users. In some cases, we also
use cookies to prevent you from having to log in more than is necessary
for security. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's log files,
allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting our Web
site and which parts of the site are most popular. This helps us gather
feedback to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our
clients. Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal information
about you and we do not intentionally store any personal information

when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the
protection of our legal rights.

account information when we have reason to believe that disclosing this
information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action
against someone who may be violating our Terms of Service or to protect
the safety of our users and the Public.

contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice
whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may
include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and
demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact
information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey
information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use

us from time to time informing you of specials or discounts for our
products or related products we think will be of interest to you. To
save time, the nature of these calls may be automated. The call will
ALWAYS mention us. You can, of course, opt out at any time. This section
meets the requirement of the FTC & FCC for proper notification to our
customers as specified in the recent September 1, 2009 change in law
regarding automated calls.
Acquisition or Changes in Ownership
In the event that the web site (or a substantial
portion of its assets) is acquired, your information would be considered
part of those assets, and may be part of those assets that are
transferred.
Policy Modifications
We may
change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If/when changes are made
to this privacy policy, we will email users who have given us permission
to do so. We will post any changes here, so be sure to check back
periodically. However, please be assured that if the Privacy Policy
changes in the future, we will not use the personal information you have
submitted to us under this Privacy Policy in a manner that is materially
inconsistent with this Privacy Policy, without your prior consent.
