Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your device through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Websites, while others allow us to track your activities at our Websites.

We may use cookies in connection with our Websites for limited purposes. Cookies may also allow us to gather data about our Websites, such as the number of visits, most visited pages, etc. Cookies also help with the following:

There are two types of cookies: session and persistent cookies.

Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your computer. We may use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or while you are logged into our Websites. This allows us to process your online transactions and requests and verify your identity after you have logged in, as you move through our Site.

Our Websites contain links to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and other similar social media sites that enable you to “Like” or share the content of our website with other people via social media. When you use these “share” buttons, a third-party cookie is installed. The privacy implications on this will vary from social network to social network and will be dependent on the privacy settings you have chosen on these networks.

Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The “Help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Visitors to our Site who disable cookies will be able to browse certain areas of the Site, but some features may not function.

These cookies are required for the operation of our Websites. If you do not want these cookies to be set, you should not access or use our website for any purpose.
