What is a cookie?

Utilizing Cookies for Improved Site Functionality: Cookies are essential tools that store data on your device to enhance website responsiveness and user interaction. By assigning a unique identifier to each visitor, we track user interactions in a non-intrusive way. Our site also respects your privacy by not accessing personal information unless explicitly provided by you. Note that third-party advertisers might also use cookies to monitor interactions with their ads.

We only use cookies set by the website owner, which are called “first party cookies.” Of those cookies, we only use “essential cookies,” or cookies that are strictly necessary to provide you with the System.

Most of the cookies that we deploy are “session” cookies, which are temporary cookies that expire once you close your browser or your session ends. We also drop “persistent” cookies in limited circumstances, which are cookies that remain on your hard drive until you erase them or your browser does, depending on the cookie’s expiration date. As detailed below, we use information from cookies for purposes such as (i) identifying returning users and registrants and (ii) enabling you to move more easily around our System.

Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you have the option to modify your settings to prevent this. Please note, changing your settings to reject certain cookies may impact the functionality of our site. The process for changing settings varies by browser and can usually be found in the browser’s help menu.
