What is a cookie?

Cookies are small files that our website may place on your computer or mobile device ("Device") via your web browser. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your Device's hard drive. Some of the cookies store information required for this website to function properly. Other cookies help us improve the website for you by tracking how many people visit the website, which pages they visit, and how frequently.

Some cookies are deleted at the end of each browser session. These are called "session cookies". They allow website operators to link your actions during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close the browser window.

Other cookies remain on your Device for a longer period (as specified in the cookie). These are called "persistent cookies". They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie.
