As you may know, when you visit sites on the Internet, those web sites send cookies, or an HTTP header that consists of text-only string, to the memory of your browser.
This string contains the domain, path, lifetime, and value of a website's set variables. These cookies, depending on the length of time visitors spend on any particular site, will be saved to file for future reference if they exceed the web site's time variables. The purpose of sending cookies to your browser is to have some record of the choices you select while visiting the website and thereby track popular links or demographics. Cookies can store database information, custom page settings, or anything that would make a web site individual and customizable. Programmers like cookies because they help keep site content fresh and relevant to the visitor's interests. Cookies also help to store any personal data that visitors share with a site until that information is actually submitted or sent to the site's database or server.

However, please rest assured that we utilize the information stored in cookies for the sole purpose of tracking visitors' web surfing habits to determine the date & time of visits and which pages were selected. This type of information tells us which days we can expect a lot of visits, and which pages are getting the most attention. As you can imagine, this helps us in determining which travel details are in demand, and how to ensure that our web pages meet your needs. In addition to cookies, we are doing web site analysis through third party software packages so that we can gauge our highest traffic times, the efficiency of our forms, which areas need more development, how often the links we provide are used, and how well search engines find our site. These statistics not only help our marketing and publicity efforts but also allow us to seek the travel information that is important to our visitors, and provide an ever-expanding and improving source of references, ideas, and tips for business travelers, affiliates, and vacationers.
