1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how visitors use their site.
Cookies are not harmful. They cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. They are unique to your browser and can only be read by the website that placed them or by designated third-party services.
Similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage may also be used for similar purposes. References to "cookies" in this policy include these similar technologies where applicable.

Third-party services we may use include:
