This online privacy statement is provided by CDE to disclose the information gathering and dissemination practices of this site, www.cde.com.

From time to time, we may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our website. Your IP address identifies you and allows us to gather broad demographic information on site visitors.

From time to time, portions of our site use a browser feature referred to as "cookies". The word "cookie" as used in this online privacy statement means a small data file certain Web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file such as we use on this site can contain information such as a user ID that we can use to keep track of the pages you have visited on this site and your other activities on this site. To the best of our knowledge, the only personal information or other specific information regarding you that such cookies as we use on this site can contain is information you provide, so such a cookie as we use on this site cannot read data from your hard drive unless you provide it to this site, nor can such a cookie as we use on this site read cookie files created by other sites unless you provide those files to us, nor can such cookies as we use on this site corrupt your hard drive or transmit viruses to your computer.

This site may from time to time contain links to other sites. Neither CDE, nor www.cde.com, nor any other CDE instrumentality or affiliate, is responsible for any privacy practice or content of any such web sites, even if these sites appear as part of the CDE website.

Please note that any e-mail or other communication or attachment sent by you to this site (whether it be suggestions, ideas or any other e-mail, communication or attachment) will be considered to be non-confidential (and will be considered to be available to us and our affiliates for unrestricted use by us and our affiliates, and will be considered to be not owned by you) unless we specifically and explicitly agree with you to the contrary in a writing actually signed by CDE.
