The service provider maintains no control over third-party sites, including but not limited to their content or privacy policies, and makes no representation or warranty in connection with the subscriber’s decision to access third-party sites from links appearing throughout the site.

Cookies

The service provider makes use of browser “cookies”. Cookies are files employed by a majority of Internet related service providers which write specific information to a user’s hard disk to be read again in the future if a user returns to a previously visited site. The service provider’s cookies do not enable third parties to access any subscriber information. Cookies are used internally to store subscriber data on service usage. If the subscriber feels strongly about the use of cookies, most browsers may be set to alert them to the placement of a cookie on your computer. The subscriber can delete the files that contain cookies; those files are stored as part of the Internet browser. Please refer to the browser help File to make use of these options.
