A cookie is a small piece of information that is sent to your browser and stored in your computer's hard drive. The purpose of a cookie is to remember certain user inputs on the Site. Personalization features also use cookies to identify groups of users and deliver appropriate Site content and services, as well as feedback related to marketing and email campaigns. Session cookies are temporary bits of information that are erased at a time designated by the settings of your browser, which is uncontrollable by the Dire Solutions web sites. Persistent cookies are more permanent bits of information that are placed on the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless you delete the cookie. They store information on your computer for a number of reasons, such as retrieving certain information you have previously provided (i.e., username and password), helping to determine what areas of the Site you find most valuable, and customizing the Site based on your preferences on an ongoing basis. Persistent cookies placed on your computer by these Sites may hold Personal Information, but only if you have consented to the provision of Personal Information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy. Otherwise, these Site's servers only know that an unidentified visitor with your cookies has returned to these Sites. In addition to customization, persistent cookies will be used to provide you with better service on the Sites, to compile and analyze statistics and trends, and to otherwise administer and improve the Sites for your use. Subject to applicable laws and in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy, information gathered through the use of persistent cookies on the Sites may also be shared with, or sold to, third parties. The Sites may also use clear gifs (also known as web beacons) in combination with cookies, in order to help Sites operators understand how visitors interact with the Sites. A clear gif is typically a transparent graphic image (usually 1 pixel by 1 pixel in size) that is placed on the Sites, which allows the Sites to measure the actions of a visitor who opens the page that contains the clear gif. Dire Solutions uses clear gifs to measure traffic and related behavior, and to improve your experience when visiting the Sites. We also use clear gifs to manage the content available on the Sites. Dire Solutions contracts with a number of third party service providers who use cookie technology to track and analyze usage and volume statistical information, and monitor responses to email and advertising campaigns on behalf of Dire Solutions. The information obtained from cookies is used by Dire Solutions, and in certain cases by its third party service providers, to administer the Sites, improve the quality of your experience when visiting, and monitor the efficiency of Dire Solutions's marketing activities. Data collected by any such third party from these Sites is owned and used by Dire Solutions, but is accessible by such third party administrators. Cookies do not damage your computer, and as deployed by Dire Solutions, cannot be used to discover your identity. You can set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being sent to your computer. This will notify you whether or not you are required to accept the cookie in order to view certain Site content, and allows you to decide if you want to accept the cookie or not. You can also set your browser to accept all cookies or to refuse cookies altogether. If you do prevent your computer from accepting cookies, you will still be able to fully access the Site, although you may lose some additional functionality and convenience provided through the use of cookies.
