Cookies and similar technology
We use cookies and similar technology to collect aggregate (non-personal) information about Site usage by all of our visitors and to help us remember you and your preferences when you revisit the Site. A cookie is a special text file that a website puts on your hard disk or in your browser file so that it can remember something about you later. Typically, a cookie records your preferences when using a particular site. You can set up your browser to inform you when cookies are set or to prevent cookies from being set, but users must agree to let cookies be saved for them to function. A website other than the one that set the cookie cannot read the cookie. We use cookies and similar technologies for a number of administrative purposes, for example, to store your preferences for certain kinds of information or to store a password so that you do not have to input it every time you visit our site. Most cookies last only through a single session, or visit (“session cookies”), but some that help us recognize you when you return to the site will remain for an extended period of time (“persistent cookies”). We use both types of cookies. You can set your browser to reject cookies, but some of the functions of our website may not work if you reject cookies. Further general information about cookies and how they work is available at www.allaboutcookies.org.
We may allow selected third parties to place cookies through the Site to provide us with better insights into the use of the Site or user demographics or to provide relevant advertising to you. These third parties may collect information about a consumer’s online activities over time and across different websites when he or she uses our website. We may also permit third party service providers to place cookies through our Site to perform analytic or marketing functions. We do not control the use of such third party cookies or the resulting information and we are not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
