SERVICE PROVIDERS

We use a third-party service provider which provides cloud monitoring for data analytics and security, which may require us to share your personal information.

A cookie is a small text file that a web server stores on a user's computer. Cookies are sent back and forth between the web server and the user's browser each time the user visits our website.

There are two types of cookies that are used on this site. Session cookies are temporary and expire when the user closes their browser, while persistent cookies remain on the user's computer until they expire or are deleted.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but they usually can be modified to decline cookies if you prefer; however, certain features of this site might not work without cookies.

SECURE SITE COOKIES

As an additional layer of protection (specifically to assist in preventing fishing attacks), each time you log in you will be presented with an account unique picture and label that you have provided.

To prevent anyone from knowing this unique picture and label, you will be asked to provide your security answer. If you choose, you may “Remember this PC” by electing to accept an anti-fishing cookie. This cookie will flag your browser as an acceptable client to by-bass. The name and value of the cookie will represent a known data value on our servers to validate your system.

No Personal Information is stored in these cookies as the name and value are provided by our servers. If you choose to not accept these cookies, you will be asked to provide your security answer on every login.

These secure cookies are set to expire 50 years from creation.

SESSION COOKIES

To run our web applications, we use “session cookies.” These ASP.NET cookies are used to remember selections and preferences that you have already made or information that you have already given. This cookie is one required aspect of our session security.

These session cookies will expire when you quit your browser.

WEB BEACONS

Web Beacons, sometimes called single-pixel gifs or clear gifs, are smaller than cookies and tell the Web site server information such as the IP address and browser type related to the visitor's computer. Tags may be placed both on online advertisements that bring people to the site and on different pages of the site. Such tags indicate how many times a page is opened and which information is consulted.

TARGETING COOKIES

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not directly store Personal Information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

THIRD-PARTY ADVERTISING TECHNOLOGIES

We do not sell your information to third parties. These companies may deliver ads that might place cookies and otherwise track user behavior. These companies may use information about user behavior in order to provide customized advertisements across various websites, services and products.

In the course of providing these services, products, or placing advertisements, these third-party companies may place or recognize a unique cookie on your computer and may record information to these cookies based upon your activities on any of our sites and on third party websites. Each of these companies uses this cookie information according to their own privacy and security policies. If you wish to not have this information used for the purpose of serving you targeted ads, you may opt-out as indicated in this Notice. Please note this does not opt you out of being delivered advertising; you will continue to receive generic ads.

DO NOT TRACK REQUESTS

Some Web browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Each browser communicates "Do Not Track" signals to websites differently, making it unworkable to honor each and every request correctly. In order to alleviate any communication error between browsers and website, we do not respond to "Do Not Track" signals at this time. As the technology and communication between browser and website improves, we will reevaluate the ability to honor "Do Not Track" signals and may make changes to our policy.
