What are Cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that is stored in your web browser that allows the site or a third party to recognize you, as a visitor (and not as an individual). However, cookies might be used for the following purposes: (1) to enable certain functions; (2) to provide analytics; (3) to store your preferences; and (4) to enable ad delivery and behavioral advertising.

Cookies can either be session cookies or persistent cookies. A session cookie expires automatically when you close your browser. Moreover, a persistent cookie will remain until it expires, or until you delete your cookies from your browser. Expiration dates are set in the cookies themselves; some may expire after a few minutes, while others may expire after longer periods. “First-party cookies” are those that the website you’re visiting places, while “third-party cookies” are those that other entities place.

Cookies are sometimes used with a pixel tag on the sites. Pixel tags ( known as web beacons or clear GIFs) are typically transparent graphic images placed on a website.

For example, we, or our partners, may use pixel tags to track interactions on the site(s) or to understand referrals to partners from our site(s) or, for retargeting purposes, as described in the privacy policy.
