Use of Cookies

We may use cookies on this Website to enable your login to our services or to personalize the Website. A cookie is a small text file that a web server places on your hard drive. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a webpage or navigate within a site, a cookie helps recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the delivery of relevant content, site navigation, etc. When you return to the site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the customized features of the Website.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. Detailed instructions on how to manage cookies can be found in your web browser’s help menu under “Cookies.” If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of this or other websites you visit.

We may also include web beacons in promotional email messages or newsletters to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.

PASS may also employ web beacons from third parties to help us compile aggregated statistics and determine the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns or other aspects of our websites. We prohibit third parties from using web beacons on our sites to collect or access your personal information. In some cases, we may work with other companies that advertise on our websites to place web beacons on their sites, enabling us to develop statistics about how often clicking on an advertisement on a PASS website leads to a purchase or other action on the advertiser’s site.
