What is a Cookie?<\/h2>\r\n

Cookies are small text files or pieces of information stored on your computer or mobile device (e.g., smartphone or tablet) when you visit our Sites. A cookie usually contains the name of the website it comes from, the \"lifetime\" of the cookie (i.e., how long the cookie will remain on your device), and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n

Why Do We Use Cookies?<\/h2>\r\n

We use cookies to make our sites easier to use and to better tailor the sites and our products to your interests and needs. Cookies can do this because websites can read and write these files, allowing them to recognize you and remember important information that makes your use of a website more convenient (for example, by remembering your preferences).<\/p>\r\n

Cookies can also be used to speed up your future activities and visits to our sites. We also use cookies to compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that allow us to understand how users use our Sites and help us improve the structure and content of our Sites.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n

What Types of Cookies Do We Use?<\/h2>\r\n

Two types of cookies may be used on the Sites: \"session cookies\" and \"persistent cookies\". Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain on your device until you leave the Site. A persistent cookie remains on your device for much longer or until you manually delete it (how long the cookie remains on your device depends on the duration or \"lifetime\" of the specific cookie).<\/p>\r\n \r\n

Third-party cookies<\/h3>\r\n

We use a number of suppliers that may also set cookies on your device on our behalf when you visit our sites to allow them to deliver their services. For more information about these cookies, as well as information about how to opt-out, please see their privacy policies.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n
