A cookie is a small removable data file that is stored by your web browser on your computer. Cookies are only used by us to allow you to use the Website in the most efficient manner.

Please note, however, that by deleting our cookies or disabling future cookies you may not be able to access certain areas or features of the Site.
We also work with other companies who use tracking technologies, including web beacons, to serve ads on our behalf across the internet. These companies may collect non-personally identifiable information about your visit to our website and about your interaction with our communications, including advertising and e-mails. If you object to web beacons, we recommend that you follow the instructions for deleting existing cookies and disabling future cookies. We will still know how many of our e-mails are opened and we will automatically receive your IP address, a unique identifier for your computer or other access device but we will not identify you as an individual.
We use the following cookies:
