A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. Often cookies contain a string of numbers and letters that uniquely identifies your device, but can contain other information. Cookies serve many different purposes, including to help remember your preferences or allow our Services to function.

There are different types of cookies:

  • Cookies are “persistent”, “permanent” or “session”:

Persistent and permanent cookies remain on your device even after you have gone offline. These cookies will remain on your device until you manually delete them or until your browser deletes them based on the duration specified in the cookie file itself.

We may employ Flash cookies in certain situations where we use Flash to provide some content such as video clips or animation.
