1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide information to website owners, and enhance the user experience.

1.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit a website, the web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie and sends it back to the server with subsequent requests. This allows the website to recognize you and remember your preferences, settings, or actions.

1.2 Types of Storage Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies including:

• Local Storage: Stores data in your browser with no expiration date. Data persists until cleared by you or our website.
• Session Storage: Stores data for the duration of your browser session. Data is deleted when you close the browser.
• Pixels/Web Beacons: Tiny invisible images that help us understand how you interact with our content.

3. Third-Party Cookies

We use services from third parties that may set cookies on your device. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies.

3.1 Google Analytics

4.3 Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that sends a signal to websites requesting they not track your browsing. Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We do not currently respond to DNT signals, but you can use the other methods described above to manage cookies.
