NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
When visitors come to our Site, we collect and aggregate information
indicating, among other things, which web pages were visited, the order in which
they were visited, and which hyperlinks, if any, were "clicked" by the visitor.
Value Growth, like most major web sites, collects such information by placing small
bits of information, known as "cookies", on the hard drive of your computer to
log IP addresses, operating system (e.g., Windows or Macintosh), type of browser
software (e.g., Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer), and Internet service
providers (e.g., AOL or NET.COM) used by each visitor to the Site.

visits to the site more enjoyable. For example, cookies allow a visitor to
quickly log on to a site he/she has used before by storing a password. By
tracking how many people visit our Site and where they go, we are able to
determine which part of the Site users like the best, which part needs some
improvement and what changes should be made. By obtaining this information, we
are able to continually improve our Site and bring you the best online
experience possible.
Although the cookie itself does not collect any personally identifiable
information about a visitor, and Value Growth does not use cookies in order to obtain
such information, the cookie can be used to determine the IP address of the
visitor's Internet Service Provider and the geographic location of his or her
point of connectivity to the Internet. Value Growth may also disclose some of the
non-personally identifiable information we obtain to advertisers to inform them
how many people have seen or linked to their advertisements on our Site.
However, we do not disclose personally identifiable information to these
advertisers. Visitors may also receive cookies from third parties, but Value

reviewed the relevant databases, we will confirm whether we have collected such
