Cookies are small text files that are stored through the browser on your computer or mobile device (for example, Google Chrome or Safari) when you visit a website. They allow the site to store information like login information or language preference. You can think of Cookies as providing a so-called memory for the website, so that it can recognize you when you come back and respond appropriately. You are not obligated to accept all Cookies in order to visit our website, however, enabling Cookies may allow for a more personalized browsing experience and is required for most of our Services to work.

3. How long does Cookies last?
The length of time a Cookie stays on your device varies according to its purpose.

A Cookie that is automatically deleted once your session is concluded is called a “Session Cookie”. Session Cookies are used for the duration of your stay on our site and are automatically deleted when you exit the browser.

5. How can you reject or remove Cookies?
You have a choice regarding the use of Cookies as described in this policy. Please note that rejecting or removing certain Cookies may result in inadequate or partial Services.
You can adjust your web browser settings, usually located in the ‘Options’ or ‘Preferences’ menu of your browser.
If you are primarily concerned about third-party Cookies generated by advertisers, and you live in the US, Canada, Europe or the UK, you can also opt out from the collection of your data by our advertising partners who participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance.
Opt-out by visiting:
In addition, on your mobile device (e.g., iPhone, iPad or Android), you can change your device settings to control whether you see online interest-based ads.
Please note that when you get a new computer, install a new browser, erase or otherwise alter your browser’s cookie file (including upgrading certain browsers), you may also clear the opt-out Cookies installed once you opt-out, so an additional opt-out will be necessary to prevent additional tracking.
6. “Do Not Track” signals
Some web browsers may transmit “Do Not Track” signals to websites with which the browser communicates, telling the website not to follow its online movements. Because of differences in how web browsers interpret this feature and send those signals, and lack of standardization, it is not always clear whether visitors and users intend for these signals to be transmitted or whether they are even aware of them. Therefore, as many other reputable websites, we currently do not respond to such “Do Not Track” signals.
