Do not track
Do Not Track is a technology and policy proposal that enables users to opt out of tracking by websites. Your browser setting may allow you to automatically transmit a “do not track” signal to websites and online service you visit. There is no consensus among industry participants as to what “do not track” means in this context. Like many websites and online services, we do not alter our practices when we receive a “do not track” signal from a visitor’s browser. To find out more about “do not track,” please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.
SSL Certificate
Our SSL Certificate authenticates our identity to visiting browsers and encrypts information for the server via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. Encryption is the process of scrambling data into an undecipherable format that can only be returned to a readable format with the proper decryption key. A certificate serves as an electronic “passport” that establishes an online entity’s credentials when doing business on the Web. When an Internet user attempts to send confidential information to a Web server, their browser will access the digital certificate of our server and establish a secure connection. Click on the key or padlock in the lower left-hand corner of your browser to view our authentication.
