What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files put on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Website owners use cookies to make their websites function, or to function more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner are “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features for the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.
Why do the sites use cookies?

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. Web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”) are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables a site to recognize when someone has visited the website or opened an email including them. This allows the site, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Websites may also use so-called “Flash Cookies” (also known as Local Shared Objects or “LSOs”) to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of the services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations.
If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to “information” on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).
Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with the services or online content.
Do you serve targeted advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through the website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable this site or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.
How often will you update this, Cookie Policy?
The owner of the site may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies the site uses or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about the use of cookies and related technologies.
