and subsidiaries reserve the right to share with third parties the fact that
they have credit card information on file for specific customers but they will
not share this credit card information with third parties without the customer's

Like most standard website servers, we use log files. Log files track anonymous
user information including, but not limited to, Internet Protocol ("IP")
addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider ("ISP"), referring/exit
pages, platform type, July 1, 2011/time stamp, and number of clicks. This

aggregate use. The information tracked via log files is not linked to personally
identifiable information except for IP addresses and source URL.
2. Cookies
The Website uses a "cookie" to assign a unique identifier to your computer. The

activities and other preferences, so that you are not required to reenter
information each time that you visit the Website, and to deliver content
specific to your interests.
