In order to collect the anonymous data described in the preceding paragraph, we may use temporary session ID cookies. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. We set a persistent cookie to store your passwords, so you do not have to enter it more than once. Persistent cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance your experience on the Website. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser's "help" file.Cookies by themselves cannot be used to discover the identity of the user. Cookies do not damage your computer. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. This enables you to decide if you want to accept it or not.
