How We use cookies
A “cookie” is a small file that asks permission to be placed on Your computer’s hard drive when You visit a website. Once You agree, the file is added, and the cookie helps analyze web traffic or lets You know when You visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to You as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to Your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about Your preferences.
We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps Us analyze data about webpage traffic and improve Our website to tailor it to viewer needs. We only use this data for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system. Overall, cookies help Us provide You with a better website, by enabling Us to monitor which pages You find useful.
A cookie in no way gives Us access to Your computer or any data about You, other than the data You choose to share with Us. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but You can usually modify Your browser setting to decline cookies if You prefer. However, declining cookies may prevent You from taking full advantage of a website.

Personal Information will be retained only for as long as it serves a reasonable business purpose in accordance with applicable laws. Once Your Personal Information is no longer needed for a legitimate business purpose, we will take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize any Personal Information unless we must keep it to comply with applicable law, evidence our compliance with applicable law, or retain it in connection with an outstanding issue, claim, or dispute until it is resolved.
The Website has security measures in place to help protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of Your information under Our control.
