How We Use Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of information that some websites store on your computer’s hard drive when you visit them. Like many other websites, we may use cookies to identify users for our business purposes.

What We Provide to Third Parties
Third-party agents may need access to some of your personal information. For example, we may need to share your name and address with third parties. In such cases, we only provide third-party agents with the minimum amount of information needed to complete the requested service or transaction. We reserve the right to provide third parties with aggregate statistics about our clients, traffic patterns, and related site information. This data reflects site usage patterns, but does not contain personally identifiable information about any individual user.
