Problems Logging In?

If you are having problems logging into the Members Only Area, even though you are using the correct login information, then your browser does not accept First Party Cookies. In order to access the Members Only functions, your web browser must accept First Party Cookies.

Cookies: Our site makes use of "per-session" cookies. Cookies are small text files offered to your computer by Web servers in order to keep track of your browser as you navigate the site. Unlike "persistent" cookies, which are stored on your hard drive and can last for years, even decades, "per-session" cookies are stored only in your browser's temporary (cache) memory and are deleted when you shut down your browser.

Here is how our session cookies work: Each time you visit our Members Only site, our Web server offers your browser a temporary session cookie containing only a randomly-generated alphanumeric string. As you navigate the site, this unique alphanumeric text string is read back to our Web server, allowing our server to verify that you are a member and is not used for anything besides authenticating your computer to the web server.

Our use of session cookies ensures your online privacy and security. Here's why:

• The contents of our session cookie are not linked, shared or associated in any way with personal information that you may have supplied to us or made available elsewhere.
• A new and unique session cookie is randomly generated for each visit. This means that we cannot track or link together multiple visits by any single user over time.
• Our session cookies cannot be "read" by any other Web servers, meaning that you cannot be tracked or profiled using our cookie when you surf across multiple sites on the Web.
