Cookies and beacons

When using a third-party advertising partner, they may place cookies on your browsers.  This may be used in conjunction with web beacons located in their advertisements.  This is done for the reason of examining or appraising the success of the advertisement.

A “cookie” is a string of characters that a website will send to your computer in the form of a small text file.  What this file does is to note data needed for specific website tasks, such as preferences or settings.

However, cookies do not allow us or a third party to acquire data that has not otherwise been disclosed.

Using “cookies” is an industry-wide practice.  They are used on many of the most popular and frequently used websites.  Many browsers are automatically set up to allow the use of “cookies” or at the very least to let you know a “cookie” is being sent to your computer.  Please note that some functions or uses of a website may not operate correctly if “cookies” are rendered inoperative.

A “web beacon” on the other hand is placed on a web page as a small picture file.  This is used with cookies to calculate the number of different readers visit a unique page or a definite user count for viewers who have visited a certain web page or advertisement.  Any image file on a web page can behave as a “web beacon”.

We take correct and protective secure measure to make certain any information we collect is guarded and safe on our servers.
