Use of Cookies

Internet cookie is typically a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web
server.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you
time. For example, if you personalize a web page or navigate within a site, a cookie
helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the
process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving
your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized functionality.
Vel Tye reserves the right to share site statistics with partner companies.
You may 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 reject cookies by changing your browser settings then be aware

Use of Web Beacons or GIF Files
The Site may contain electronic images known as Web beacons – sometimes also
called single-pixel gifs – that allow Vel Tye to, among other things, count users who
have visited those pages and deliver co-branded services. Vel Tye may include Web
beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters to determine whether
messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third-party service providers to help
determine the effectiveness of advertising campaigns or e-mail communications. These
Web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie on
your computer. This allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time
you visit certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to
those page views, which in turn enables Vel Tye and our service providers to learn
which advertisements and emails bring you to the Site and how you use the Site.

are protected by a password to maintain privacy and security on the Site. To help
maintain the security of your Personal Information, it is your responsibility to maintain
the confidentiality of your Vel Tye password and to sign off when you are finished
accessing your Vel Tye account.
Vel Tye limits employee access to sensitive Personal Information to a need-to-know
basis. We do not store any clear text passwords and we utilize strong encryption to
protect your Personal Information online. That said, due to the possibility of hardware or
software failure, unauthorized entry or use and other factors, Vel Tye cannot guarantee
