What are Cookies? Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. &nbsp;Cookies set by the website are called “first party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website are called “third party cookies.” Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality, such as advertising or website analytics, to be provided on or through the website.

These technologies often depend on cookies to function properly, and so disabling cookies may impair their functioning. If you sign up to receive our e-mails, we will also use cookies in conjunction with these emails. When your browser downloads any graphic content in the e-mail, we will also place a cookie on your computer that will tell us if you come to our website at a later date. Third-Party Cookies. In addition to our own cookies, we collaborate with various third-party service providers who also use cookies to help us optimize our website and understand more about the visitors to our website.

However, even with these signals enabled, we will continue to collect other information about you and your activity through the use of cookies, tracking pixels, and other Tools as described elsewhere in this Policy.
