What are cookies and what are they used for?

Cookies are text files, containing small amounts of information, which are downloaded to your browsing device (such as a computer or smartphone) when you visit a website. Cookies can be recognized by the website that downloaded them — or other websites that use the same cookies.  This helps websites know if the browsing device has visited them before. We use cookies and similar technologies (web beacons, tracking pixels and similar) to collect information about the use of our websites and Apps in order to make them function effectively and to improve our website visitors’ experience when they browse our websites and use the Apps. We typically use both session cookies and persistent cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our websites and Apps. A session cookie expires when you close your browser or an App on your device. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time, and can be used when you return to our website to help identify you or allow you to log in or on other third-party websites to communicate to you via online-marketing channels.

You do not have to accept all cookies used by our websites or Apps. If you reject certain cookies, however, you may not be able to use some of the features of our websites. Your browser or device may be configured to allow you to refuse or delete cookies or to be notified when a cookie is stored on your device. To change your web browser or device settings for cookies, you can follow the instructions in the help section of your web browser or visit www.allaboutcookies.org and for Apps – in the settings of your device.
