Enhancing User Experience with Cookies: Our website utilizes cookies to differentiate you from other users, providing a customized browsing experience and enabling site improvements. By browsing our site, you consent to our use of these cookies.

Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or hard drive. They store information that allows us to enhance your experience on our website.

We only use cookies set by the website owner, which are called “first party cookies.” Of those cookies, we only use “essential cookies,” or cookies that are strictly necessary to provide you with the System.

Most of the cookies that we deploy are “session” cookies, which are temporary cookies that expire once you close your browser or your session ends. We also drop “persistent” cookies in limited circumstances, which are cookies that remain on your hard drive until you erase them or your browser does, depending on the cookie’s expiration date. As detailed below, we use information from cookies for purposes such as (i) identifying returning users and registrants and (ii) enabling you to move more easily around our System.

Social media buttons on our pages facilitate easy sharing and engagement with content on social media platforms, which may track this interaction.

You may choose to set your web browser to not accept cookies. Further information on how to prevent cookies from being stored on your computer can be found on your browser under the ‘manage cookies’ Section. Alternatively, go to the help menu within your Internet browser. If you choose to reject cookies, certain parts of the System may not function properly or as intended by us.

Email Interaction Tracking

Our emails may use a "web beacon pixel" to determine if they have been opened and to track interactions with content. This data is used to gauge the relevance of our communications. You can avoid this tracking by disabling image downloads or viewing emails in text-only mode.
