Information We Collect
When any person visits our website, we may collect non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available. This includes things such as your browser type, language preference, type of computer, etc. There may also be times we collect potentially personally-identifiable information like your IP address, such as when filling out a form, or when making a blog comment. These types of data are collected for the purpose of understanding how visitors use our website, to document visitor actions, and to provide support. It is normally only accessible to site administrators and third party services that use this information to perform their services.

A cookie cannot read data off your hard drive or read cookie files created by other sites. Cookies do not damage your system. Cookies allow us to recognize you as a user when you return to our website using the same computer and web browser.

For example, we use cookies to allow you to avoid logging in every time you come to our site. We may also be used to assist with referral programs. And some third party services may use cookies to operate as designed. This may include site analytics, or providing relevant promotional offers. Most browser software can be set to reject cookies. However, if you reject our cookies, certain functionality on the website may not work correctly or at all.
