Cookies Used on Lumina Websites
Cookies are used for a variety of reasons. We use Cookies to obtain information
about the preferences of our Members and the services they select. Cookies are small
pieces of information that a web site places on your computer's hard drive so we
know it is you when you visit our Websites. Cookies usually do not contain any information
which is not readily available to any other site you visit or information that you
have not knowingly supplied to us. Cookies may record information a user accesses
on one webpage to simplify subsequent interactions with that website by the same

webpages. We also use Cookies for security purposes to protect our Members. For
example, if a Member is logged on and the site is unused for more than 10 minutes,
we will automatically log the Member off. Most major web browsers are set up so
that they will initially accept cookies. If you are uncomfortable with this, you
can disable all cookies through your browser settings. If you choose to reject all
cookies, there are areas of Lumina Websites that may not function properly and that
will disable your ability to stay logged into the Site.
