Cookie Policy
Our Use of Cookies
We use browser cookies, and similar technologies (collectively, “cookies” unless otherwise noted), to distinguish you from other users of our sites.
Using cookies helps us provide you with a better user experience, helps us to understand and improve how our services perform, lets us personalize your experience on our sites, and helps our advertising partners deliver more relevant advertisements to you on our site and on other sites that you visit.
Your Consent
Where required by law, we will provide you a notice regarding our use of cookies. In certain instances, applicable laws require that we refrain from setting cookies until you have made an explicit choice.
If we are not required to offer you an explicit choice, we will consider your continued use of our site to be an indication that you have given your consent to placement of cookies on your browser by us and our third-party service providers.
Whether you have given explicit consent, or your use of the site indicates your implied consent, this Cookie Notice includes information on how you may block or disable cookies or withdraw previously granted consent.
Please note, cookies are used throughout our site and disabling or blocking them may prevent you from using certain parts of our site.
Withdraw Your Consent at Any Time
Where required by law, you will have the opportunity to choose to accept or reject cookies. That process is the means by which you must express to us that you are withholding, or have withdrawn, your consent.
If you do not wish to accept cookies in connection with your use of the website, you will need to delete, and block or disable cookies via your browser settings. See below for more information on how to do this. Please note that disabling cookies will affect the functionality of the website, and may prevent you from being able to access certain features on the website.
What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your device. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies as soon as you visit the website.
Key Concepts
There are a few key concepts that you should understand about cookies:
First- and Third-party cookies: Whether a cookie is 'first' or 'third' party refers to the domain placing the cookie:
First-party cookies are those set by a website that is being visited by the user at the time (e.g., cookies placed by our website domain).
Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than that of the website being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and another entity sets a cookie through that website, this would be a third-party cookie.
Persistent cookies: These cookies remain on a user’s device for the period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that created that particular cookie.
Session cookies: These cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
