Protecting your
privacy is a priority at Contemporary Information Corporation (CIC). To
underscore our fundamental commitment to privacy and our vision that good

of our Web sites. This policy reflects and implements (in an online setting)
our corporate privacy principles. |

II. Cookies.
"Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your
browser on your computer's hard drive. This site uses first and third
party cookies (session and persistent), however personally identifiable
information is not collected through the use of cookies. Cookies are
used to determine whether a visitor is unique or whether a visitor has
viewed our site before. This site uses session cookies in our job
opportunity section of the Web site for single sign-on into the
application and persistent cookies for Web site traffic analysis.
Cookies are also used in sections of this site which require user log-in
to authenticate and validate users and to determine whether a user's
session is active or has timed-out. While most browsers are set to accept
cookies by default, you can set yours to refuse cookies or to alert you
before accepting them. Your browser manufacturer has information on
changing the default setting for your specific browser.
III. Non personally-identifiable
information.
This site also collects non personally-identifiable information. For
example, as you browse this Web site we may collect information about
your visit, but not about you personally. Via Web server logs, for
example, we may monitor statistics such as: the number of people that
visit our site, which page(s) are visited on our site, from which domain
our visitors come (e.g., aol.com, hotmail.com, etc.), and which browsers
people use to visit our site (e.g., Netscape Navigator, Microsoft
Internet Explorer, etc.). Our Web site uses an outsourcing program to
assist us in analyzing this data to better tailor our Web site.
