When operating the Site, we collect your personal information in a couple of different situations. The first is whether you should contact us through the “contact” page.

(a) AUTOMATIC COLLECTION. Our servers automatically recognize the domain names and IP addresses of visitors (the number assigned to computers on the Internet). No personal information about you is revealed in this process. The Site may also collect anonymous “traffic data” that does not personally identify you, but which may be useful for marketing purposes or to improve the services we offer.

(b) COOKIES. From time to time, we may use the standard “cookie” function of the main browser applications that allows us to store a small part of the data on your computer about your visit to our Site. Cookies help us know which areas of our Site are useful and which areas need improvement through programs including, but not limited to, Google Analytics. We may also use cookies from third-party sites and social programs, including but not limited to Facebook, Google Plus, and Twitter. You can choose to disable cookies through your browser or separate programs available online. However, if you choose to disable this feature, your experience on our Site may be impaired as some features may not work as intended.

(c) SPONSORS AND ADVERTISERS. We may decide to accept sponsorship and advertisements on the Site.
