A “cookie” is a small text file stored on a user’s computer or mobile device when you visit a website or use Web-based software. Cookies send information back to the originating website on each subsequent visit to that site, or to another site that recognizes that same cookie. Cookies come in many different forms and are useful because they allow a website or software provider to recognize a user’s device and keep track of preferences. We may receive reports based on the use of cookies, and similar technologies, on an individual or aggregated basis.
We use session-based and persistent cookies on our website. Session cookies make it easier to navigate our website and disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your computer.
