Introduction

To make this website work properly and to provide the most relevant products and services to our website visitors, we place small data files called cookies on your device. This policy provides you with information about cookies and how to control them for this website.

What is a cookie?

Also known as browser cookies or tracking cookies, cookies are small, often encrypted text files located in the browser's directories. They are used by web developers to help users navigate their sites efficiently and perform certain functions. Due to their primary role in improving/enabling site usability or processes, disabling cookies may prevent users from using certain websites.

A cookie is a text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie, to develop a record of the user's online activity. Cookies on this site may be delivered in a first-party (set by this site) or third-party (set by another website) context and may also be set in association with the electronic newsletters you receive from us.

Cookies help us improve your experience when you use the website. They also help us understand how people use our website, such as the most popular pages, so that we can better serve our website users.

Standard uses for browser cookies

Website servers set cookies to help authenticate the user if they log in to a secure area of the website. The login information is stored in a cookie so that the user can log in and out of the website without having to re-enter the same login information multiple times. More information

Session cookies are also used by the server to store information about user activity on the page so that users can easily pick up where they left off on the server's pages. By default, web pages really don't have a "memory." Cookies tell the server which pages to show the user so that they don't have to remember or start browsing the site again. Cookies act as a kind of "bookmark" within the site. Similarly, cookies can store order information needed to make shopping carts work instead of forcing the user to remember all the items the user has put in their shopping cart.

Persistent or tracking cookies are also used to store user preferences. Many websites allow the user to customize the way information is presented through the layout or theme of the site. These changes make the site easier to navigate and/or allow the user to leave some of the user's "personality" on the site.

Cookie security and privacy

Cookies are NOT viruses. Cookies use a plain text format. They are not compiled pieces of code, so they cannot be executed, nor do they self-execute. Consequently, they cannot make copies of themselves and spread to other networks to execute and replicate again. Because they cannot perform these functions, they do not fall under the standard definition of a virus.

Because they store information about a user's preferences and browsing history, both on a specific site and across multiple sites, cookies can be used to act as a form of spyware. Many anti-spyware products are well aware of this problem and routinely flag cookies as candidates for deletion after standard virus and/or spyware scans. It would be ideal to install spyware detection applications on web-accessing devices.

Most browsers have built-in privacy settings that offer varying levels of cookie acceptance, expiration, and removal after a user has visited a particular site. Creating a backup of your computer can give you peace of mind that your files are safe.
