Website Privacy Practices
We value your privacy and made this policy easily available throughout our site to assist you in understanding the handling of information in the course of using this website.
Log Files and Cookies
This website uses standard analytics, which gathers limited information on visitors to our website automatically, and stores this anonymous information in server log files. This information may include IP addresses, browser type, basic IP information, referring pages, operating system used and date/time stamps. This information does not identify individual users; it is used only for site administration, as well as for analysis of website usage and trends.
Additionally, cookies may be used to provide easier and faster access to website features such as logins and/or repeat visits. Cookies are very small text files that are stored on personal computers for reference purposes. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you have submitted while on our site.
We collect personal information such as name, address, phone number and email address when voluntarily submitted by our visitors. The information provided is only used to fulfil your specific request unless specific permission is explicitly given to use it in another manner.
We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie expires when your browser is closed, and a persistent cookie may stay on your hard drive for an extended period. Session cookies make it easier for you to navigate our site; persistent cookies can perform such activities as storing your password for the Member Portal, Forums, Registration Forms or other Submission forms so you do not have to sign in every time you visit those areas.
