Information Collected from You with Technology
T
Similar to many web sites, our web site, on occasions, utilizes a standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation below, What Are Cookies?) and web server logs to collect information about how our web site is used. Information gathered through cookies and web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent on 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.
Use of "Web bugs"
What is a Web Bug? A web bug is a graphic
on a web page or in an e-mail message that is designed to monitor
who is reading the web page or e-mail message. Web bugs are often
invisible because they are typically only 1-by-1 pixel in size.
We do not use "Web bugs."
Some Internet security applications
may mis-identify static graphic elements, used for layout purposes
only, as web bugs. Consult your security program's documentation for
details on filtering unsuspicious images.
