We use and allow certain other companies to use cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies (collectively “Cookies”) on our Services.

By continuing to browse the site, you are agreeing to our use of cookies.


What are Cookies?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to the browser that you use when you visit a site. The entity that places cookies on your browser can then read the information on that cookie that it set. Cookies are typically classified as either “session cookies” which do not stay on your device after you close your browser or “persistent cookies” which will usually remain on your device until you delete them or they expire.

Controlling Cookies

There are a number of ways you can manage what cookies are set on your devices. Essential cookies, however, cannot be disabled. If you do not allow certain cookies to be installed, the Services may not be accessible to you and/or the performance, features, or Services of the website may be compromised.


Advertising Cookies

If you would like to disable advertising cookies, you can visit http://www.youronlinechoices.com. If you choose to turn off these cookies you will still see advertising on the internet but it may not be tailored to your interests. It does not mean that you won’t be served any advertisements while online. You can also manage this type of cookie in the privacy settings on the web browser you are using.

“Do not track” signals

Our Websites and Services do not collect personal information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services.
