What Are Cookies and How/Why Do We Use Them?

Cookies are small text files containing alphanumeric data that are placed on your computer or mobile browsing device by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. “Session” cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser, and are most commonly used to help you navigate the website more efficiently and provide information specific to your use of the site (e.g. whether you have logged in to a secure area). “Persistent” cookies may be used in gathering statistical information about repeat usage from your computer or device across multiple visits to the website. The data within those cookies can be retrieved by the website that placed it upon subsequent visits to the site.

In general, cookies are anonymous and do not contain personally identifiable information, but if you voluntarily furnish your Personal Information through the website, this information may be linked to the otherwise non-personally identifiable data stored in cookies sent to your browser from the website. You can learn how to prevent the use of cookies in the “How to Disable or Prevent” cookies section below, but doing so may affect proper functionality of this website.
