following directions provided in your Internet browser’s “help” file.
If you
reject cookies, you may still use our website, but your ability to use some
areas of our site will be limited.

in log files. These are non-personal information which includes internet
protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP),
referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

trends, to administer the website, to track users’ movements around the website
and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We do
link this automatically-collected data to personal information.

to do their jobs. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations
and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal
prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations. No method of transmission
