We collect and store only the following information: the name of the domain from which you access the Internet; the date and time you access our site; the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to our site, if any; and which pages you view while you visit our website.
We use this information to count the number of visitors to different sections of our site, to find out what information is the most viewed, and to help us make our website more useful to visitors.

Cookies and Other Information Stored on Your Computer
The majority of this site does NOT use the “cookies” that some websites use to gather and store information about your visits to their sites.

Those data are stored on your hard drive and not on the website’s server. Whenever you visit a “cookie” site again, the server looks for its cookie on your hard drive and, if found, then reads the information it stored there.
