What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that this Website transfers to your browser’s cookie file on your computer’s hard drive. These cookies allow the Website to recognize you on future visits and remember certain details about your browsing activities, such as which pages you visited, your menu selections, information you entered into forms, and the date and time of your visit.
Types of Cookies
Cookies come in two main types:
- Session Cookies: These temporary cookies expire at the end of your browser session when you leave the site. They allow the Website to recognize you as you navigate between pages during a single session, enabling smoother and more efficient use of the Website. For example, session cookies can remember items you’ve placed in an online shopping cart.
- Persistent Cookies: Unlike session cookies, persistent cookies remain on your device between browsing sessions until they expire or are deleted. These cookies enable the Website to recognize you on return visits and remember your preferences, tailoring services accordingly.
Additionally, other types of cookies may be used by this Website to provide us or third parties with information, depending on the specific sites you choose to visit.
