A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you've visited, but it is important to note that the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk nor can it read cookie files created by other sites. We use cookies to remember information from one page to the next (session cookies), and information we store indefinitely will be stored in databases, and not in cookies on visitor PC’s.
From time to time, we may use cookies to track user traffic patterns. We do this to determine the usefulness of site information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information. We do not correlate this information with data about individual users, nor do we share or sell this information.
Users can set their browser to notify them when a site attempts to add or update a cookie. The user then has the opportunity to accept or refuse the cookie on a case-by-case basis. Users may also set their browser to refuse all cookies. While most of our pages do not use cookies, setting the browser to reject them will make some services on our website unavailable.

Information Sharing
