Use of Cookies:
To improve the effectiveness and usability of the Platform for our Users, we use "cookies", or such similar electronic tools to collect information by assigning each visitor a unique random number as a User Identification (User ID) to understand the User's individual interests using the identified computer. Unless the User voluntarily identifies himself/herself (e.g., through registration), the Company has no way of knowing who the User is, even if we assign a cookie to the User's computer. The only personal/financial information a cookie can contain is information supplied by the User. A cookie cannot read data off the User's hard drive. The Company’s advertisers may also assign their own cookies to the User's browser (if the User clicks on their ad banners), a process that the Company does not control and therefore does not bear responsibility for.
Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them. You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser, but please note that if you choose to erase or block your cookies, you may need to re-enter certain information to gain access to certain parts of the Platform.
The Company's web servers automatically collect limited information about User's computer's connection to the internet, including User's IP address, when the User visits the Platform. (User's IP address is a number that lets computers attached to the internet know where to send data to the User -- such as the web pages viewed by the User). The User's IP address does not identify the User personally.
The Company uses this information to deliver its web pages to users upon request, to tailor its Platform to the interests of its users, to measure traffic within the Platform and let advertisers know the geographic locations from where the Company's visitors come.
Our use of cookies and other tracking technologies allows us to improve our Platform and consequently your web experience. We may also analyze information that does not include personal information for trends and statistics.

That policy may differ from the Company's own.
