When you visit any website, it may store or retrieve information on your browser, primarily in the form of cookies. This information may be about you, your preferences or your device and is primarily used to make the website work as you expect. This information usually does not directly identify you but can provide you with a more personalized online experience. Because we respect your privacy, you can choose not to allow certain types of cookies. Click on the different category titles to learn more and change our default settings. However, blocking certain types of cookies may affect your experience of the website and the services we are able to provide.

What are cookies?

Cookies are text files that contain small amounts of information that are downloaded to your browser or device when you visit certain URLs. Each time you subsequently visit these original URLs, a cookie will be sent to those URLs or another URL that recognizes the cookie. Cookies are widely used to enable websites to function or operate more efficiently, as well as to provide information about website usage.
Cookies serve many different functions, such as providing you with an efficient page browsing experience, remembering your preferences, and improving the overall user experience. For example, cookies can tell us whether you have used the site before, or whether you are a new user.
The length of time that cookies remain on your device varies. Some Cookies are “session Cookies”, which means they only exist while your browser or application is open. They are automatically deleted as soon as you close the browser or application. Other Cookies are “persistent Cookies”, which means they will still exist after your browser or application is closed. When you subsequently open and use the service again, it can use cookies to identify your device.

Local storage technologies such as HTML5 provide equivalent functionality to cookies but can store large amounts of data, including data related to specific applications on the device outside of the browser.

Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, are used to prove that a web page or email was visited or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked on.

Performance cookies

These cookies enable us to count visits and traffic sources so that we can measure and improve the performance of our website.

Targeting cookies

These cookies may be set by our advertising partners through our website. These companies may use them to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertising on other websites.
