Cookie Use Notice

Embark employs "cookies" to provide better service to its customers. Embark does not use cookies to collect any personally identifying information from users or to track user activities beyond our Web site. Embark does not maintain copies of cookies on our Web site after you leave our Web site.

Cookies are small pieces of temporary data that are exchanged between a Web site and a user's computer which enable a "session," or "dialog," to be established between the two machines. With the session established, Embark is able to tailor its responses (i.e., identify and provide you with the information you want) and help you traverse our Web pages in the most efficient and effective manner possible. The session is often broken when the server does not receive further requests from your computer or you simply exit your browser.
