No personally identifiable information is collected from Visitors other than storing a cookie on their computer.  Registered Users may opt out of receiving unsolicited information from or being contacted by us by emailing the Site Administrator.  Opting out of third party affiliates needs to be done with the third party affiliate as this Site does not share any personally identifiable information with third parties.

Are Cookies Used on the Site?
Cookies are used for a variety of reasons. We use Cookies to obtain information about the preferences of our Visitors and to administrate User features of the site. We also use Cookies for security purposes to protect our Registered Users. For example, if a Registered User is logged on and the site is unused for more than a specified amount of time (set by the Site Administrator), we will automatically log the Registered User off.

No personally identifiable information is collected from Visitors other than storing a cookie on their computer.  For Registered Uses, We provide a mechanism to delete or deactivate Personally Identifiable Information from the Site's database by contacting the Site Administrator. However, because of backups and records of deletions, it may be impossible to delete an entry without retaining some residual information. An individual who requests to have Personally Identifiable Information deactivated will have this information functionally deleted, and we will not sell, transfer, or use Personally Identifiable Information relating to that individual in any way.
