Introduction
Our website, and related services and providers, may occasionally place small files on your device called “cookies.” These cookies provide a variety of necessary and/or useful functions. For instance, they help make our website work properly, help us facilitate a great user experience and permit us to offer relevant products and advertising users may be interested in. We’ve created this Cookie Policy to help you understand what cookies are, what cookies we use, why we use them and more. This Cookie Policy is part of our Privacy Policy.
What are Cookies?
When referring to an internet cookie, a “cookie” is essentially nothing more than a very small text file. These documents typically include mundane information such as a unique anonymous identifier or an identification number assigned to each visitor. When you visit a website, the webserver computer requests permission from the visitor’s device in order to store cookie files. Cookies are usually stored in a specific dedicated location on a device that is exclusively reserved for the purposes of storage of cookies.
Cookie storage is generally only permitted if your browser and device settings are set to allow it. Due to obvious privacy concerns, a device and internet browser typically only allows a website to access or view its own cookies and not the cookies of others. Web servers and websites generally cannot access or view cookie sent from other websites.
