A cookie is a small piece of text sent to your browser by a website you visit. It helps the Website to remember information about your visit. That can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.

We use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Website. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser help file directions. Session cookies are temporary and typically disappear after you close your browser.

We use our own cookies (first party cookies):

• To recognize you when you visit the Website.
• To remember your preferences.
• To perform security measures.

In addition, we work with reputable companies who can use their cookies when you use the Website (third party cookies). Third-party cookies are used, for example, to count how many visitors we receive to a page, to help us analyze how the Website is used (e.g. Google Analytics cookies). We use the information to compile reports and to help us improve the Website. The cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors to the Website, where visitors have come to the Website from and the pages they visited.

Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. You may be able to reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the Website may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled.

5. Use of Google Analytics and Similar Third-Party Services

We use Google Analytics to collect information about use of the Website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit this site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to the Website. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve the Website. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with your Personal Data. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Website, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.

Google Analytics employs cookies to define user sessions, which allows for the collection of data about how visitors are using the Website. Google Analytics uses only first-party cookies for data analysis. This means that the cookies are linked to a specific website domain, and Google Analytics will only use that cookie data for statistical analysis related to your browsing behavior on that specific website. According to Google, the data collected cannot be altered or retrieved by services from other domains.

You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to the Website by disabling cookies on your browser. To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites visit the Google Analytics Opt-Out page.

We may use other .analytics tools that work in a way similar to Google Analytics.
