IP addresses from which visitors appear to originate may be recorded for IT security and system diagnostic purposes. This information may also be used in aggregate form to conduct Web site trend and performance analysis.

A “cookie” is a small piece of text that a Web site places in the cookie file of your browser and that allows the site to remember who you are. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. ARMUI only uses cookies in accordance with applicable laws.
Cookies by themselves do not tell us your e-mail address or otherwise identify you personally. If you visit our Web site, we use cookies to compile aggregate statistics to help us determine what areas of the site visitors prefer.
You have the choice of deciding whether to accept cookies or not. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or to reject cookies. However, please be aware that if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to fully experience some of our Web site features.
