Like most standard website servers, we use and maintain the information that we obtain from your browser on our server logs. This information can include Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider ("ISP"), and other data. We may use this information to analyze trends, administer the Site, track user movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We may associate this information with your Personal Information to resolve technical issues and support security for our users.

Cookies
A cookie is a small piece of data that is stored in a browser-related file on your computer's hard drive when you use the Site. Cookies are uniquely assigned to your computer, and are read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Our primary use of cookies is to improve your experience on the Site. For example, storing a cookie on your computer allows you to login without typing the registered e-mail address or registration number and password. We also use cookies to deliver information and fresh content specific to your interests. If you do not want these cookies stored on your computer you can reject cookies by modifying your browser setting accordingly (Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences). However, if you choose to reject cookies, you may not be able to access products and services that we offer that require you to "login" or "sign in". Please also note that certain types of emails available through the Site may automatically log you into the Site and/or set new cookies when you click on the links in the emails and that you may need to manually remove such cookies if you do not want them to be set on your computer.

When You Use the "Tell A Friend" or "Email this Page" Features

If you elect to use our referral service for informing a friend about our Site, you will be asked to provide your friend's name and e-mail address. We will then automatically send the friend an e-mail inviting them to visit the Site. We ask for this information for the sole purpose of sending this e-mail and tracking the success of our referral program.

When You Participate in Surveys or Questionnaires

From time-to-time, we may request information from our users via surveys. Although the responses we collect in online surveys are anonymous, we may occasionally request contact information (such as your name and e-mail address) or demographic information (such as your zip code). Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary, such that you have the choice of whether you wish to disclose the requested information. However, we encourage our members to participate in these surveys as they provide us with important information that helps us to improve the types of services we offer, and how we provide them to you.
