Yes, we may use cookies and related technologies, such as web beacons, to
collect information on our web site. A cookie is a text file that is placed on
your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or
deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can
only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. One
of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save
you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have

such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to

to monitor and collect certain information about the viewer of the web page,
web-based document or e-mail message, such as the type of browser requesting
the web beacon, the IP address of the computer that the web beacon is sent to
and the time the web beacon was viewed. Web beacons can be very small and
invisible to the user, but, in general, any electronic image viewed as part of
a web page or e-mail, including HTML based content, can act as a web beacon. We
may use web beacons to count visitors to the web pages on the web site or to
monitor how our users navigate the web site, and we may include web beacons in
e-mail messages in order to count how many messages sent were actually opened,
acted upon or forwarded.
