2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide website owners with information about how their sites are being used.

Cookies are created by a web server and sent to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie in a designated file on your device. When you return to the same website, the server can read the information stored in the cookie to recognize your preferences and remember your previous activity.

Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you directly, but the personal information we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies can be "session cookies" or "persistent cookies":

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only during your browsing session. They are automatically deleted from your device when you close your browser or end your session.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device after your browsing session ends, until they expire or are manually deleted. They allow websites to remember your preferences the next time you visit.

  • JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that help us collect analytics data and enable certain website features.
  • Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your device settings and browser configuration to create a unique identifier.

For the purposes of this policy, all of these technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."
