'Cookies' are small text files placed on your computer or device's hard drive by websites through your web Brower. These text files indicate to your browser what information or choices you have previously given to a website.

Upon returning to a website (using cookies) that you have previously visited, your browser retrieves and sends the appropriate cookies to the server, indicating to the website which previous site-related settings you have opted for. This is done to improve the user experience and avoid having to input the same information multiple times.

Allowing a website to create a cookie does not give that website, or any other website, access to any other files on your device. Additionally, only the website that created the cookie can read it.

These cookies may remain on your hard drive for a single visit to a website (they are deleted when your browser is closed), they may remain on your device until a defined period of time has passed, or they may remain until you delete them.

You can manage and/or delete these cookies your device, but this may limit the functionality websites can offer. You have the power to block cookies from any and all websites you visit using your browser settings.
