Co-Branded Relationships
We have established relationships with other parties to offer you the benefit of other products and
services which we ourselves do not offer. We offer you access to these other parties either through the
use of hyperlinks to their sites from our Site, or through offering "co-branded" sites in which both
ourselves and these other parties share the same uniform resource locator, domain name or pages within a
domain name on the Internet. In some cases you may be required to submit information for purposes of
registering or applying for products or services provided by such third parties or co-branded partners.
The privacy policy of such other parties may differ from ours, and we may not have any control over the
information that you submit to such third parties or co-branded sites. We therefore encourage you to read
that policy before responding to any offers, products or services provided by such other parties.
CookiesWe use "cookies" to store specific information about you and track your visits to our Site. It is not uncommon for websites to use cookies to enhance identification of their users. A "cookie" is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie can be sent to your computer's hard drive only if you access our Site using the computer. If you do not de-activate or erase the cookie, each time you use the same computer to access our Site, our web servers will be notified of your visit to our Site and in turn we may have knowledge of your visit and the pattern of your usage. Generally, we use cookies to identify you and enable us to access your Registration Information, Publishing Information or Payment Information so you do not have to re-enter it; gather statistical information about usage by Users; research visiting patters and help target advertisements based on User interests; assist our partners to track User visits to the Site and process orders; and track progress and participation in promotions. You can determine if and how a cookie will be accepted by configuring your browser's which is installed in the computer you are using to access the Site. If you desire, you can change those configurations in your browser.

If you reject all cookies by choosing the cookie-disabling function in your browser, you may be required to re-enter your information on our Site more often and certain features of our Site may be unavailable. Minors
The Site and its contents are not intended to be targeted to minors under applicable law and we do not
intend to offer or sell any of our products or services to minors. However, we have no way of distinguishing the
age of individuals who access our Site and so we carry out the same Privacy Policy for individuals of all
ages. If a minor has provided us with personal information without parental or guardian consent, the
parent or guardian should contact us to remove the information.
Security MeasuresWe employ commercially reasonable security methods to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure correct use of information. As a Registered User, your Registration Information, Publishing Information and Payment Information (if any) can be viewed and edited through your Account which is protected by Password. We recommend that you do not divulge your Password to anyone. Our personnel will never ask you for your Password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited e-mail. If you share a computer with others, you should not choose to save your log-in information (e.g., User ID and Password) on the computer. Remember to sign out of your Account and close your browser window when you have finished your session. No data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be perfectly secured. As a result, while we try to protect your information, no web site or company, including ourselves, can absolutely ensure or guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.

and restated Privacy Policy on our Site. Our posting the amended and restated Privacy Policy will make
