Changes to this Statement
The Operations, Inc. Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online
experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web
page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your
computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web
server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to
save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have
returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Operations, Inc.
pages, or register with Operations, Inc. site or services, a cookie helps
Operations, Inc. to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This
simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing
addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same

retrieved, so you can easily use the Operations, Inc. features that you

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to
decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be
able to fully experience the interactive features of the Operations, Inc.
services or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information

or disclosure. Operations, Inc. secures the personally identifiable information
