Each Web site can send its cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Browsers are usually set to accept cookies.

If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some areas of our Site will not function as effectively when viewed by the users.
