4. USE OF COOKIES
Cookies enable us to improve your visits to the site. Your web browser sends alphanumeric identifiers known as cookies to your computer’s hard drive. Most browsers’ help sections will explain to you how to restrict your browser from accepting new cookies, but this will limit your functionality. Cookies enable us to identify your browser and deliver services tailored to your specific requirements.

5. SECURITY MEASURES
We work hard to protect the security of your information. Our site pages use Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) technology, the current standard for secure transactions over the Internet.
