Do we use "cookies"?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to

the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture
and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us
remember and process the items in your shopping cart. They are also used to
help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity,
which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to
help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that
we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to
use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and
improve our business.

or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser
(like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a
little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to
modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won't have access to many
features that make your site experience more efficient and some of our services
