COOKIES
Like many other commercial websites, we utilize a standard technology called “cookies” to collect information about the use of our website. A cookie is a small piece of data, which often includes an anonymous identifier stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. When you visit a website, that site’s server asks your computer for permission to store that file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. You can choose to disable cookies by following the procedure suggested by your particular browser. While access to some of our secured website content may require the use of cookies, for which you must enable only cookies that get sent back to the originating server, you can still access most of our website’s features even without accepting a cookie.

Our website provides links to third-party websites. Even if the third party is affiliated with Alpha in any way, Alpha is not responsible for the privacy policies or practices or the content of such external links. Your browsing and interaction on any other website are subject to that website’s own rules and policies.
