Cookies

In order to better serve you, the user, we use cookies for certain types of online transactions. Cookies are small
text files that a web server may ask your web browser to store, and to send back to the web server when needed.
Cookies may be used to store a transaction identifier or other information a user may provide.

We use cookies in the following ways:

Complex Transactions: Cookies are used to store and retrieve unique transaction identifiers or other server-
generated or user-provided information in complex, multi-page web applications. This allows us to distinguish
between different users, and to use information provided at one stage of an application at a later time (for instance,
items placed in a 'shopping cart' might need to be displayed on a later 'check-out' screen). When we use cookies in
this way, the cookie is stored on your web browser only temporarily; the cookie is destroyed at the end of the
transaction or at the end of the browser session.

Customized Services: Cookies may also be used to automatically identify a particular user to the system, in order
to provide a customized service, such as a personalized web page. In this case, a cookie containing a unique user
identifier will be permanently stored on your web browser. We do not store sensitive information in such cookies;
only a unique user identifier or generic preference values are stored. Personal information you give us for
processing a transaction or using one of our personalization features, may be stored on our secure web server.
We do not use cookies in order to track your visit to our website. The "help" portion of the toolbar on most
browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies or how to disable cookies
altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of many of the

to users, titled Information Bulletin I-034: Internet Cookies. You can refuse the cookies or delete the cookie file
from your computer by using any of the widely available methods.
