We
may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP
address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and to
report aggregate information to our advertisers. This is statistical data about

COOKIES
For the
same reason, we may obtain information about your general internet usage by
using a cookie file which is stored on your browser or the hard drive of your
computer. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's

operate.
| _utma |
Google Analytics: Each unique browser that visits a page on the site is provided with a unique ID via the __utma cookie. In this way, subsequent visits to the website via the same browser are recorded as belonging to the same (unique) visitor. Thus, if a person interacted with the website using different browsers, the Analytics reports would track this activity under two unique visitors. Similarly if the same browser were used by two different visitors, but with a separate computer account for each, the activity would be recorded under two unique visitor IDs. On the other hand, if the browser happens to be used by two different people sharing the same computer account, one unique visitor ID is recorded, even though two unique individuals accessed the site. |
| _utmb/_utmc |
Google Analytics uses these two cookies to establish a session. If either of these two cookies is absent, further activity by the user initiates the start of a new session. |
| _utmz |
Google Analytics: When visitors reach the site via a search engine result, a direct link, or an ad that links to the page, Google Analytics stores the type of referral information in a cookie. The parameters in the cookie value string are parsed and sent in the GIF Request (in the utmcc variable). The expiration date for the cookie is set as 6 months into the future. This cookie gets updated with each subsequent page view to the site; thus it is used to determine visitor navigation within the site. |

Google Analytics: It is used to set and pass custom variable information to Google Analytics server. |
