Visiting Our Website
You may be able to set your browser to reject “cookies”. A cookie is a small piece of information that a website can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your computer's hard drive. It acts as an anonymous tag that identifies your computer, but not you personally.
Cookies have the ability to store information about web pages viewed. For registered customers, cookies can also save user information and screen preferences.
You can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the opportunity to decide whether to accept it. You can also set your browser to reject any cookies. However, declining the Internet cookie may prevent you from utilizing our services to the fullest extent.
A pixel tag, also known as a clear GIF or web beacon, is an invisible tag placed on certain pages of our website but not on your computer. When you access these pages, pixel tags generate a generic notice of that visit. They usually work in conjunction with cookies, registering when a particular computer visits a particular page. If you turn off cookies, the pixel tag will simply detect an anonymous website visit.
There are times where you may choose to give us personal information about you. For example, you may ask that a representative call you. We need certain information from you so we can respond to your request. Many of our customers register for online access to their account information. We need information from you to register you, and authenticate you, for this access.
