Cookies don\u2019t reveal personal information about you. A session cookie is a line of text that is stored temporarily in your computer’s memory and not written to your computer’s hard drive.

\nA session cookie makes it possible for you to access different areas of our web site without re-registering or re-entering your password. The help function on most browsers contains information on how to set your browser to notify you before accepting a cookie or to disable cookies entirely. However, if you don’t accept cookies, some pages on our site won’t display properly or you may receive error messages.

\nWe do not sell or rent any members’ or subscribers’ personal information to telemarketers, mailing list brokers or any other non-affiliated company. We may disclose your information to third parties only upon proper request, or as required or permitted by law.

Because these unrelated parties will also see your “user name” on any postings that you make in the discussion groups, you may not want to use your full name.<\/p>\n
