What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website operators useful information. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by a different domain than the one you are visiting).

Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use the following technologies:

  • Local Storage: Used to store your cookie consent preferences. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not sent to the server with each request.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If we make material changes to how we use cookies, we will reset your cookie consent preferences so you can review and consent to the updated practices.
