placed it on your hard drive. The actual contents of the cookie
information can be retrieved by the same server to identify the
computer and subsequently to customize, monitor, or regulate the
use of a site based on information stored on the host server. Therefore,
cookies only identify the user's computer to the Web site which
may correlate other information, including personally identifying
information, with the cookie.
We use cookies to allow us to automate access and data entry functions
of our Site such as to correlate online ordering information for
purchases you may make while at the Site (if any), tailor the Site
to your preferences or interests, or customize promotions or marketing.
In addition, cookies allow us to track use of the Site to determine
those areas which are useful or popular and those that are not thereby
enabling us to improve and update the Site effectively.
You may adjust your Web browsers to either alert you of the use
of cookies or refuse to accept cookies entirely. For Internet Explorer
or AOL users, you can click on the "Start" button and
then select Control Panel, Internet Options and the Security tab.

to see the cookie options. For Netscape users, in the browser, select
File, Preferences and then Advanced to view the cookie options.
