COOKIES

​

     Cookies are used from time to time on our Website and in providing the Services.  Cookies are small text files that your web browser leaves on your hard drive.  Cookies recognize you as a repeat user of our Services and services and may allow CPLP to track your online activities over time, including use of our Services and target advertising.  This allows for personalization of certain aspects of your use of our Services.  Unless a user specifically provides their identity to us, e.g., by registering for our Services, providing information through an online form or sending us correspondence through the Services, we will not know the identification of individual users.  We may use cookies to store preferences, record session information, develop information about a user’s preferences and interests, record past activity at a website in order to provide better service when you return to our Services, or customize web page content based on information you voluntarily provide. 

 

     You have the ability to disable cookies using your Internet browser settings.  Please consult your browser’s help function for information on how to disable cookies.  Note that if you disable cookies, certain features of our Services may not function properly.
