4.
Co-Branded Relationships
We have
established relationships with other parties to offer you the benefit of other
products and services, which we ourselves do not offer. We offer you access to
these other parties either through the use of hyperlinks to their sites from
our Site, or through offering "co-branded" sites in which both
ourselves and these other parties share the same uniform resource locator,
domain name or pages within a domain name on the Internet. In some cases you
may be required to submit information for purposes of registering or applying
for products or services provided by such third parties or co-branded partners.
The privacy policy of such other parties may differ from ours, and we may not
have any control over the information that you submit to such third parties or
co-branded sites. We therefore encourage you to read that policy before
responding to any offers, products or services provided by such other parties.
5.

cookies to identify you and enable us to access your Registration

to re-enter it; gather statistical information about usage by Users; research
visiting patters and help target advertisements based on User interests; assist
our partners to track User visits to the Site and process orders; and track
progress and participation in promotions.
