Cookies

To make this site work properly, we must sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

How do we use cookies?

• We use cookies to record session information, record user-specific information on what pages users access or visit, and record past activity at a site in order to personalize site content to user preferences. Cookies may also record websites visited just before and just after our website.
• Cookies also personalize site content to visitor preferences (e.g., industry and topic areas of interest).
• Cookies also identify users across devices (e.g., a user clicks a link in an email from his/her desktop, then, later visits the website via mobile or tablet device; we marry those cookies so users have a consistent website experience across devices).
• The cookies we employ are not essential for the website to function properly. Cookies are used to enhance the user experience on the site through personalization.
• We use both session cookies and permanent cookies.
• We employ targeting cookies to deliver advertisements relevant to you and your interests on websites and social media. A cookie records that you have visited a website (ours and others) or conducted a relevant web search. The cookies and advertisements are placed by advertising networks with our permission. We, our advertisers, and ad serving companies may also use small pieces of code called “web beacons” or “clear gifs” to determine which advertisements and promotions users have seen and how users responded to them.
