cookies that store small amounts of data on your computer about your visit to
any of the pages on or associated with this Site. Cookies assist us in tracking
which of our features appeal to you and what content you may have viewed on
past visits. When you visit this site again, cookies can enable us to customize

1.5.2 Web Beacons.
A web beacon (also known as a "1x1 pixels" or "Clear GIF's") is a programming
code that can be used to display an image on a web page or to transfer your
unique user identification to a database and associate you with previously
acquired information about an individual in a database. This allows Company to
track certain websites you visit. Web beacons are used to track online
behavioral habits for marketing purposes. This is done in order to determine
products or services you may be interested in and to attempt to avoid sending
you offers you may not be interested in. In addition to using web beacons on
web pages, Company also uses web beacons in email messages sent to individuals
listed in Company's database.

this URL is on the site or not), your computer browser information, and your IP
address. Your Internet Protocol ("IP") is a unique Internet
"address" which is assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider
("ISP"). For local area network ("LAN"), DSL, or cable
modem users, an IP address may be permanently assigned to a particular
computer. IP addresses are automatically logged by Web servers, collecting
information about a user's traffic patterns. While the IP address does not
identify an individual by name, it may, with the cooperation of the ISP, be
used to locate and identify an individual using the Web. Your IP address can,
however, reveal what geographic area you are connecting from, or which ISP you
are using. Finally, other websites you visit have IP addresses, and we may
collect the IP addresses of those websites and their pages.
