We may use both "session" cookies and "persistent" cookies to better operate the website and enhance your experience while using the website.

A session cookie enables certain features of the website and is deleted from your computer when you disconnect from or leave the website. If a portion of this website requires a password, you will be asked to give us explicit permission to use a persistent cookie, which is a small data file that is generated when, as a registered user of this website, you enter your assigned user ID and password to access the password-protected area of the website. This file is stored on your computer and enables your browser to access each page that is in the password-protected area. Our website does not use "flash" cookies.

You may adjust your browser to refuse to accept cookies, remove cookies or notify you when a cookie is set by editing your web browser preferences or options (each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu on your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences).
