Tymphany uses this information to communicate with you about our products and services but does not disclose it to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

Usage tracking
We track user traffic patterns throughout our sites. However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. Tymphany may sometimes track and catalog the search terms that users enter in our Search function, but this tracking is never associated with individual users. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.
Cookies
We may place a text file called a cookie in the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain personal information although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie can contain
is information you supply yourself. A cookie cannot read
data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Tymphany may use cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above). You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies to participate actively in message boards, forums, polls and surveys.
