Cookies
“Cookies” are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser
on your computer’s hard drive. This site uses cookies to determine whether a
visitor is unique or whether the visitor has viewed our site before. Our
purchase process also uses cookies. This information allows us to recognize
you as a customer, along with your account information. Very simply, this
useful tool keeps you, our customer, from having to retype information that

we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit
while on our site.
Nonpersonally-identifiable Information
This site also collects nonpersonally-identifiable information. For example,
as you browse this web site we may collect information about your visit, but
not about you personally. Via web server logs, for example, we may monitor
statistics such as: the number of people that visit our site, which page(s)
are visited on our site, from which domain our visitors come (e.g., aol.com,
hotmail.com, etc.), and which browsers people use to visit our site (e.g.,
Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, etc.). Our web site uses
outsourcing programs to assist us in analyzing this data to better tailor our web site.

ONWARD TRANSFER
We may disclose information you provide to us to third parties (such as government

credit card,
disclosing that information for processing purposes is necessary to complete the
transaction. In other cases, it may be necessary to disclose information you
provide about yourself or third parties (government agencies) in order to
obtain the certificate you requested.
We may also outsource some tasks, including the operation of some website
functions that require access to information you supply online. In such cases,
however, we require that the companies acting on our behalf abide by our privacy
