HMS uses “cookies” to store member names and passwords for users who wish to gain access to any private areas of the Site. Cookies allow us to both store and retrieve login information through a user’s browser. A “cookie” is information stored on your computer by a web server and used to customize your web service in some way. Our sites may use cookies to offer faster responses or help customize users’ sessions. Like most Internet sites, we do keep standard log records to improve our sites, to provide better information in the future and to be sure we are using resources wisely. These logs may include the user’s IP address or system domain name, computer type, browser version, date and time of the visit, names of files requested and the referring page. You can set your browser software to disable cookies or to prompt you before a cookie is accepted. Our Web server automatically asks a new user whether his or her browser will agree to accept a “cookie” via the Web browser. If a visitor accepts, our Web server will identify the user’s cookie for HMS’s use in internal reporting or, for site personalization. If a user accepts a cookie, but would later like to remove it from his or her browser, he or she can follow the removal instructions found as part of your browser software.
