Use of Cookies

A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts. 

We use cookies and other tracking technologies to personalize your experience, analyze user trends, and improve Services. These tracking technologies allow us to collect information such as your device type, browser type, interactions with our Sites, geographic location, your web request, the date and time of your web request, your Internet Protocol address, the domain name of your Internet service provider, and other data. If you can be identified from this information, for example in combination with other pieces of information, then we will treat this information as Personal Information. 

You can alter the configuration of your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but it is possible that doing so may cause limited functionality of the Sites. For example, we may not be able to recognize your computer or device, and you may need to log in every time you visit.
