"Cookies" are small pieces of information stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. Cookies do not contain any personally identifying information. Look under the “help” portion of the toolbar on your web browser software to learn how to prevent your browser from automatically accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. A cookie lets you browse through our Corporate Site, and return several days later to continue where you left off. We use cookies to help us give you a better experience, by letting us monitor what's working and what isn't through site traffic analysis, so we recommend that you leave them turned on. Please be assured that accepting a cookie does not give us access to your computer or personal information under any circumstances.

For a short period of time, we had a trial arrangement with a service called Coremetrics to assist us in evaluating information about how visitors use our site. This trial arrangement is no longer in effect. As part of this service, cookies may have been placed on the computer systems of certain visitors to our site. Because we no longer are using Coremetrics' services, future visitors to our site will not have Coremetrics cookies placed on their systems. Even though we no longer are using Coremetrics' services, visitors to our site during the period from approximately April 24, 2000 through August 2, 2000 may have Coremetrics cookies on their systems.

If you have a Coremetrics cookie on your system (or would like to determine if you have a Coremetrics cookie on your system) and wish to remove the cookie from your system or opt out of the Coremetrics service, please go to: http://www.coremetrics.com/collected_eluminate.html.
