contact information (such as name and email address). This information is
used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have

- Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing
information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any
personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes
their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a
cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than
once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie,
they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user
will be limited in some areas of our site. For example, the user will not
be able to participate in any of our Contests, etc that may periodically
take place. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of
our users to enhance the experience on our site.
Some of our business partners use cookies on our site (for example,
advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.

We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and
advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can
identify any individual person.
We partner with another party to provide specific services. When the user
