Cookies

In order to offer and provide a customized and personal service, we may use cookies to store and help track information about you.

Cookies retain certain information to help websites recognize a user’s device as they navigate from page to page or when they later return to a website.

In general cookies perform four functions:

They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
  • Performance cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
