Use of Cookies
The Company's website may use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A
cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be
used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you,
and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The
purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For
example, if you personalize the Company's pages, or register with the Company's site or services, a
cookie helps the Company to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies
the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses. When you return to the same website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Company's features that you customized.
You can accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Company's website

To protect your security, we use the strongest available browser encryption and store all of our data on servers in secure facilities. All data is only accessible to our employees and contracted providers. Our employees and providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements. The company uses the following methods among many for this purpose:
SSL Protocol
TrendMicro Business Anti-Viral Software
When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is
protected through the use of encryption and the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.
We strive to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or
alteration of your personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any
wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect
your personal information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations
inherent to the Internet that are beyond our control; and (b) the security, integrity, and privacy of
any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this site cannot be
guaranteed.
