When you request a page from our Website, our servers log the information provided in the HTTP request header including the IP address, the time of the request, the URL of your request and other information that is provided in the HTTP header. We collect the HTTP request header information in order to make our website function correctly and provide you the functionality that you see on the Website.

However, if you access the Website from a link in an email that we sent you, we may identify you based on the information you previously supplied to us.
Cookies
We may use “cookies” and other similar technologies to collect information about your activities. This is so that we can customize certain aspects of your specific experience and improve the overall function and efficiency of our Sites and Services. Cookies are small data text files stored locally on your computer that uniquely identify your browser. We may use cookies – for example, Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Facebook Connect, and others – to perform various tasks such as: monitoring aggregate usage metrics, storing and remembering your login information (if you choose this option), storing your account preferences, and personalizing the Services we make available to you.
Session and First Party Cookies
The types of cookies that we use are referred to as “session” cookies and “first party” cookies. Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted once you close your Internet browser. First Party cookies remain on your computer hard drive until you delete them or until they are otherwise removed upon expiration.
