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."
