Cookies and Log Files
Cookies may be used on some pages of our Web site. It is our
policy to use cookies to make navigation of our Web site easier
for visitors and to facilitate efficient registration procedures.
"Cookies" are small text files placed on your hard
drive that help us provide a more customized Web site experience.
For example, a cookie can be used to store registration information
in an area of the site so that a user does not need to re-enter
it on subsequent visits to that area.
If you are concerned about cookies, most browsers permit individuals
to decline cookies. In most cases, a visitor may refuse a
cookie and still fully navigate our Web site.
In order to properly manage our Web site we may anonymously
log information about visitors' use of our Web site on our
operational systems, and to identify categories of visitors
by items such as domains and browser types. These statistics
are reported in aggregate to our webmasters. This is to ensure
that our Web site presents the best web experience for visitors

by a third party.
- As required by law through subpoena,
search warrant or other legal process.
Other than where required by law, to the
extent practical, it is our policy to disclose necessary information
to third parties at the time of your original request (e.g.
when ordering a publication, or when registering for an event).
In any event, where a third party is to receive a visitor's
personally identifiable information, the visitor will be advised
at the time of the data collection.
To purchase some publications listed on our Web site, and
as a convenience to accommodate visitor's with online purchasing
services, they may be directed to online retailers such as

Web site in order to purchase the publication. We recommend
that you review such online retailers privacy statements to
learn more about their specific practices.
Also, in the event of a violation of the terms and conditions
of use of our Web site or a violation of any restrictions
on the use of the content provided in or through our Web site,

provided by the authenticated visitor.
Any updates to your information should be handled by going
