Information About All Site Visitors
In general, this Site automatically gathers certain usage information, such as the number and frequency of visitors to the Site. RI DMAT, INC only uses such data in the aggregate.

Most browsers are initially set up to accept "cookies." Users may reset their browser to refuse all "cookies" or to indicate when a "cookie" is being sent.
