Cookies

To determine if users are signed in as members, we may use a certain type of “cookie.” Cookies are data that a website can send to your browser. Session cookies (also known as session variables) are kept in your browser’s memory and, depending on your browser settings, may be purged after your browser session is over. Session cookies are used to keep track of passwords, preferences, orders, and various other aspects of a user’s “session” within a website.

To protect your privacy, be sure to close your browser completely after you have finished conducting business with a website that uses cookies. If you are concerned about the potential use of information gathered from your computer by cookies, you can set your browser to prompt you before it accepts a cookie. Most Internet browsers have settings that let you identify and/or reject cookies. These settings are usually located under “Tools” on your browser toolbar.

Security and Intrusion Detection

For site security purposes, and to help make this site available to all users, we employ software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. Be aware that no transmission of data over the Internet can be completely secure. We do not employ secure socket layer (SSL) encryption or like technology.
