- WHAT ARE COOKIES AND OTHER ONLINE TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
Cookies are small files that are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. The cookie then sends information back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Other types of tracking technologies work similarly to cookies and place small data files on your devices or monitor your website activity to collect information about how you use our Sites. Accordingly, Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies allow our Sites to recognize your device and track your activities and preferences, thereby allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently and to generally improve the user experience. The information provided below about cookies also applies to the other tracking technologies referenced above (i.e., web beacons, pixels, clear gifs, and other similar technologies). You can find more information about cookies at: www.allaboutcookies.org.
Cookies are often categorized by function. We use five types of cookies on our Sites:
| Name | Description |
| Essential Cookies | These are cookies that are strictly necessary for the functioning of a website or for performing services that an individual user has requested. For instance, these cookies are necessary to allow us to operate our Sites so you may access them as you have requested. These cookies let us recognize that you have created an account and have logged into that account to access the Sites. They also include cookies that enable us to remember your previous actions within the same browsing session. Without these cookies, the service you have asked for cannot be provided. |
| Performance Cookies | These cookies understand and analyze the Sites’ performance. These cookies are used to improve how the Sites function. |
| Functional Cookies | These cookies allow the Sites to remember choices users make and to provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, within our Sites, these cookies remember users’ language preferences. |

| Advertising Cookies | These cookies are used to provide visitors with relevant ads and marketing campaigns on our Sites and on third-party platforms. |

| Name | Description |

| Session Cookies | Session cookies remain on your device until you close your browser, at which time they are automatically deleted. |
| First-Party Cookies | These cookies are placed by the party operating the website or service. For example, any cookies we place on your computer from our Sites are first-party cookies. |

Google Ads and Analytics. We use Google Analytics to collect information about use of our Sites.

Although Google Analytics sets a cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit our Sites, 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 our Sites is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to the Sites by disabling cookies on your browser. Google Analytics also uses electronic images known as web beacons (sometimes called single pixel gifs) which are used along with cookies to compile aggregated statistics to analyze how our Sites are used. You can find additional information on how to install a browser add-on to prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
