Passive
Information Collection
This Site uses various technologies to passively collect information
from you while you are visiting (that is, you do not actively
provide this information). Such technologies allow the Site
to collect a range of nonpersonally identifiable information,
including your Internet Protocol (IP) address (a unique identifier
automatically assigned to your computer when logging onto
the Internet), the type of Web browser and operating system
you use, the date and time you visit the Site, the specific
pages you visit on the Site, and the address of the website
you visited before coming to this Site. We typically use such
passively collected information for a variety of purposes,
such as to administer the Site, customize the Site to your
preferences, and compile aggregated statistics for marketing
and research purposes. We reserve the unrestricted right to
use this passively collected, nonpersonally identifiable information,
including, but not limited to, selling, leasing, permitting
access to, or otherwise transferring it to our affiliates,
business partners, advertisers, dealers, and other third parties.
Two types of passive information collection technologies deserve
special mention:
a) Cookies
"Cookies" are small text files that store information
about your interactions with a particular website, either
temporarily (known as a "temporary" or "session"
cookie, and deleted once you close your browser window) or
more permanently on the hard drive of your computer (known
as a "permanent" or "persistent cookie").
Cookies can make it easier to use a website by allowing servers
to access certain information quickly:
§ Session cookies can be used
to help a user's browser navigate a website more smoothly
and may show up if the user comes from a website with which
the subsequent website has some relationship (e.g., a website
of an affiliated company) and can give helpful information.
§ Persistent cookies can be used
to customize a website for a user, such as by storing passwords,
preferences, and registration and account information so that
users do not have to reenter them each time they visit a website.
At this moment this web site does not use any
"Cookies".

b) Web Beacons
"Web beacons" (also known as single-pixel GIFs,
clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are Internet
tags that are smaller than cookies and may tell the website
server nonpersonally identifiable information such as the
IP address and browser type related to the user's computer.
At this moment this web site does not use
"Web beacons."
