We may also obtain your personal information from your transactions with us or other users through the services provided through this Website, or from third parties.
We may send email newsletters to our registered users. Registered users may subscribe or unsubscribe to an email newsletter at any time by changing their email preferences.

When you visit the Website, whether or not you register for an account, we may send one or more cookies. "Cookies" are small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters that may be placed on your web browser. Cookies make it easier for you to navigate our Website by, among other things, "remembering" your identity so that you do not have to input your password multiple times as you navigate between webpages on the Website and/or as you access the Website. This use of cookies for authentication (i.e., verifying that you are who you say you are) is an essential component of site security. You can set your web browser to inform you when cookies are set or to prevent cookies from being set.
We may also utilize web beacons and server logs. A "web beacon" is typically a transparent graphic image (usually 1 pixel x 1 pixel) that is placed on a site or in an email which allows the website to record the simple actions of the user opening the page that contains the beacon. "Server logs" can be either a single log file or several log files automatically created and maintained by a server of activity performed by the server, which can include information about any transaction you conduct with the server.
Please note that if you decline to use cookies, you may experience reduced functionality or slower site response times. Declining to use our authentication-related cookies may prevent you from using the Website altogether. You may also clear cookies from your computer via your web browser settings. You may also wish to use a Google Analytics opt-out web browser add- on. Information on this option is available at: http://support.google.com/analytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2700409.
We or our service providers may also collect web surfing data related to your use of our services (e.g., information regarding which of our web pages you access, the frequency of such access, and your product and service preferences).
