Use of Cookies and IP Addresses

We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our website. Our site uses cookies to maintain user session identity, and, in some non-member areas, to store your username and password locally for ease of access.

“Cookies” are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on you computer’s hard drive. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future.
A unique number called an IP address identifies every computer on the Internet. Each time you connect to the Internet your machine is assigned an IP address. An IP address is a number that identifies each sender or receiver of information that is sent in packets across the Internet.
