Cookies
Our Site uses cookies. Cookies are small files that contain text-information and
are placed in your web browser during your session. The Site may use cookies for
three purposes: to carry data about your current session at the Site from one web

make sure only authorized users use the site, and to collect anonymous information
about visitors' use of the Site. Some pages of our Site may not function properly
if the cookies are turned off. Please consult your web browser's Help documentation
for more information about how to turn cookies on and off. In the course of ensuring
network security and consistent service for all users, we employ software programs
to do such things as monitor network traffic, identify unauthorized access or access
to nonpublic information, detect computer viruses and other software that might
damage our computers or the network, and monitor and tune the performance of our
networks. In the course of such monitoring, these programs may detect such information
as e-mail headers, addresses from network packets, and other information. Information
from these activities is used only for the purpose of maintaining the security and
performance of our networks and computer systems.

At various places on this Site we have special features or promotions such as a
postcard or tell-a-friend feature. These communications are facilitated through
our servers. We will use the information in accordance with your instructions. The

may have other promotions or sweepstakes on our Site. When you enter a promotion
or sweepstakes, we will ask for Personal Information about you. We will use this

also use and store this information for the purposes set forth under "Use of Personal

will require the submission of a nickname and your e-mail address. We will publish
your nickname on the Site with your posting but we will not publish your e-mail address
