What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files containing a string of characters that can be placed on your computer or mobile device that uniquely identify your browser or device, and can be used to store information.
Cookies allow a site or services to know if your computer or device has visited that site or service before. Cookies can then be used to distinguish you from other users of our website, help understand how the site or service is being used, help you navigate between pages efficiently, help remember your preferences, and generally improve your browsing experience. Cookies can also help ensure marketing you see online is more relevant to you and your interests.
What Types Of Cookies Do We Use?
