What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a web site, that site's computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each web site can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.

How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?

As you browse our web site, our web tracking service uses Cookies, in conjunction with our web server's log files, to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting our web site and which parts of the site are most popular. This helps us gather feedback in order to constantly improve our web site and better serve our customers. Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal information about you and we do not generally store any personal information that you provided to us in your cookies.

We do not sell or unnecessarily share any information you provide. All questions are confidential. In some circumstances, detailed questions may be referred to other organizations whose area of expertise is more suited to the question. For example, a detailed question regarding blood donation would be referred to our coalition partner, Bonfils Blood Center.
