One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience

site's features that you customized.
Web beacons, also known as clear gif technology, or action tags,
may be used to assist in delivering the cookie on our site. This
technology is a tool we use to compile aggregated statistics about
Bear Foot Mountain Properties Web site usage, such
as how many visitors clicked on key elements (such as links or graphics)
on a Bear Foot Mountain Properties Web page, blog
or a newsletter. We may share aggregated site statistics with partner
companies.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline
cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive
features of this or other Web sites you visit.
