What Are Cookie Files?

As you use a network, cookies — text files containing little bits of information, such as a login and password — are used to identify your machine. To identify certain users and enhance their online experience, specific cookies are utilized. The server creates the data stored in a cookie when you connect. An ID that is specific to you and your computer is attached to this data. Your computer and the network server exchange cookies, and the server examines the ID to determine what information it should provide to you.

Due to state and international regulations, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), many websites must now request your consent before using specific cookies with your browser and, if you agree, tell you how those cookies will be used.

What Cookies Do You Collect?

We employ both first-party and third-party cookies for many purposes. We refer to certain cookies as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies because they are technically necessary for our websites to function. In order to improve user experience on our websites, we can additionally track and target users' interests using other cookies. Through our websites, third parties set cookies for analytics, advertising, and other uses. Here is a thorough explanation.

Session cookies are only utilized when a user is on a website. They are never written to the hard disk; instead, they are kept in random access memory. These cookies are automatically removed at the conclusion of the session. They also support your browser's "back" button.

While many persistent cookies have an expiration date and are immediately deleted when that date is reached, persistent cookies stay on a computer eternally. There are two main uses for persistent cookies:

1. Verification. These cookies keep track of a user's login credentials. Additionally, they simplify login details, saving users from having to memorize site passwords.

2. Tracking. These cookies record several visits to the same website. Cookies are used by us to record specific users' visits, including the pages they view. We can show further services that might be of interest to visitors based on the information we obtain. A user's surfing history on that website is used to gradually create a profile.

Use of Flash Cookies Or Local Shared Objects (LSOs)

Additionally, our websites may employ so-called "Flash Cookies" (sometimes called Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to gather and store data about how you use our services, prevent fraud, and perform other site functions.

If you would prefer not to have flash cookies saved on your computer, you can use the tools in the Website Storage Settings Panel to change your Flash player's settings. Flash cookies can also be managed by accessing the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions. These instructions may include how to block flash cookies that are not being delivered by the page's operator, how to prevent Flash LSOs from being installed on your computer without your permission, and how to delete existing flash cookies from your PC.

Please be aware that some Flash applications, particularly those that may be used in conjunction with our services or online content, may not perform as well or at all if the Flash Player is set to block or limit acceptance of Flash cookies.

About Targeted Advertizing

Cookies may be placed on your computer or mobile device by third parties in order to display advertisements on our websites. To show you relevant ads for products and services you might find interesting, these businesses may utilize data about your visits to this and other websites. They might also make use of technology that gauges how successful ads are. They can do this by employing web beacons or cookies to gather data about your visits to this and other websites so they can show you relevant ads for products and services that might be of interest to you. Unless you choose to give it to them, neither they nor we are able to identify your name, contact information, or other personally identifiable information from the data gathered during this procedure.
