Please note the latest versions of most browsers allow you to change the settings to refuse all cookies or to notify you each time a cookie is sent to your computer, giving you the choice whether to accept it or not, however if you chose not to accept cookies you will not be able to log on to the client area of the site.

For example, we may disclose the total number of “hits” our sites receive, or how often the average user visits our site. Further, as a necessary adjunct to the proper operation of our Web Site, our staff and technical contractors, who are subject to obligations of confidentiality to us, may gain access to personal information as part of their service.
