Cookies
We use cookies on this website.
About cookies
A cookie is a piece of text stored on a user's computer by their
web browser.
A cookie can be used for authentication, storing site
preferences, shopping cart contents, the identifier for a
server-based session, or anything else that can be accomplished
through storing text data.
A cookie consists of one or more name-value pairs containing
bits of information, which may be encrypted for information privacy
and data security purposes. The cookie is sent as a field in the
header of the HTTP response by a web server to a web browser and
then sent back unchanged by the browser each time it accesses that
server.
Cookies may be set by the server with or without an expiration
date. Cookies without an expiration date exist until the browser
terminates, while cookies with an expiration date may be stored by
the browser until the expiration date passes. Users may also
manually delete cookies in order to save space or to address
privacy issues.
As text, cookies are not executable. Because they are not
executed, they cannot replicate themselves and are not viruses.
Most modern browsers allow users to decide whether to accept
cookies, and the time frame to keep them, but rejecting cookies
makes some websites unusable.
How we use cookies
Cookies do not contain any information that
personally identifies you, but personal information that we store
about you may be linked, by us, to the information stored in and
obtained from cookies.
We may use the information we obtain from your
