Use of Cookies and Web Beacons
We may use cookies to help you personalize your online
experience.
Cookies are identifiers that are transferred to
your computer's hard
drive through your Web browser to
enable our systems to recognize your browser. The purpose of
a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to
a specific page. For example, if you personalize the sites
pages,
or register with any of our site's services, a cookie
enables the Special
Needs Almanac to recall your specific
information on subsequent visits.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by
modifying your
Web browser; however, if you choose to
decline cookies, you may not
be able to fully experience the
interactive features of the site.
A web beacon is a transparent image file used to monitor
your journey
around a single website or collection of sites.
They are also referred to as
web bugs and are commonly used
by sites that hire third-party services to
monitor traffic.
They may be used in association with cookies to understand
how visitors interact with the pages and content on the
pages of a web site.
We may serve third-party advertisements that use cookies and
web beacons
in the course of ads being served on our web
site to ascertain how many
times you've seen an
advertisement. No personally identifiable information
you
give us is provided to them for cookie or web beacon use, so
they cannot
personally identify you with that information on
our web site.
Some third-party advertisements may be provided by Google,
which
uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google uses the
DART cookie,
which enables it to serve ads to our users based
on their visits to this site
and other sites on the Web. You
may opt out of the use of the DART
cookie by visiting the
Google ad and content network privacy policy.
Browsers can be set to accept or reject cookies or notify
you when a
cookie is being sent. Privacy software can be
used to override web
beacons. Taking either of these actions
shouldn't cause a problem
with our site, should you so
choose.

Non-Personal Information
In some cases, we may collect information about you that is

does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to
administer the site, to track users' movements around the

our user
base as a whole. The information collected is used solely
for internal review and not shared with other organizations
