Our site uses cookies. A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies may be either “persistent” or “session”: persistent cookies are stored by the browser and remain valid until their expiration date, unless deleted by the user before the expiration date; session cookies, on the other hand, expire at the end of the user’s session when the web browser is closed. Cookies generally do not contain any information that identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. We use both session and persistent cookies on our site.
