If you register for certain personalized services, or choose to save personal information on our Web site, such information may be stored in a cookie. This could allow us to greet you by name the next time you visit our Web site. It could also make your repeated online interactions with us easier by allowing you to avoid re-entering your log-in or other information each time you visit our Web site to register for an event.

This information helps us monitor our Web site and ensures that it is accessible to all visitors.

Technology Used in the Online Collection of Information

We may use web technology to determine whether someone who has opted to receive informational e-mails from TCW is capable of reading e-mails sent in HTML format. We prefer to send e-mails in HTML format since it allows you to view better graphics and improves your experience. The e-mail address of each person that is identified as being capable of reading HTML formatted e-mails is marked "HTML-capable" and subsequent e-mails are sent to that person in HTML format. If an e-mail address is not HTML-capable, subsequent e-mails are sent in text or AOL format. You can request, at any time, to discontinue TCW e-mails.
