Tracking Tools

“Cookies” are small text files that we may place on your hard drive whenever you visit our website.  Their purpose is to identify files on your computer and record your preferences and other data about your visit to our website so that when you return to the website we are aware of who you are and can help personalize your visit and make relevant recommendations to you.  The use of cookies may (if you do not disable or refuse the use of a cookie) allow you to avoid having to re-enter information upon each visit.  We may also use the information collected by the cookies, as well as other tools such as log files or web beacons, to determine how we can improve our website.
