Last Updated: January 1, 2024
Introduction to Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of data that a website you visit sends to your browser and stored on your device’s hard drive. They are used by many websites to ‘remember’ your custom preferences, such as your language preference or login information, to facilitate certain features or services. Cookies can be session-based (temporary) or persistent (stored long-term), and they have different purposes:
-
Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our system. They are strictly necessary for the operation of the site, so the website can’t actually ask for your consent before setting them. Examples include remembering previous actions (e.g., entering a username and password) when navigating the site, to improve user experience.
-
Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, for instance, which pages you go to most often and if you encounter any error messages. They do not collect information that identifies you personally. The data collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymized, and is used to improve the functionality of our website.
-
Functionality Cookies: These allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) to provide a more personalized experience. They can also be used to remember settings you have applied to a website.
-
Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver ads that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. If you are not logged in, these cookies can recognize your computer or device and store the websites you visit, as well as particular actions you take on our sites. These cookies are usually placed by third-party advertisers.
Managing and Deleting Cookies
If you wish to control, manage, delete or disable any of the cookies, you can do so through your browser settings. The help function in your browser should provide you with the correct procedure to follow. You can also manually remove cookies held by your browser by deleting them directly. To learn more about how to manage cookies, including opt-out of third-party vendors’ use of cookies, visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) website at https://optout.networkadvertising.org/ or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) website at https://optout.aboutads.info/.
Third-Party Cookies
We may use third-party service providers to serve customized advertisements on our behalf across the Internet and sometimes on this site. These third parties may collect non-personal information about your visits to our websites or your interaction with our advertisements, which can be used to predict your interests and deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you. These cookies set by third parties collect information about your browsing habits in order to make advertising more relevant to you and your interests. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

You can change your cookie settings at any time, by clicking on the “Cookie Settings” link available on our website.
