A cookie (also called web cookie, Internet cookie, browser cookie, or simply cookie) is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored on the user’s computer by the user’s web browser while the user is browsing. We use cookies to improve your site experience, to assess content usage, to distinguish you from other users of our Services, and to support the marketing of our Services.

Certain of the cookies are necessary in order for the Services to function. In certain circumstances, we may link the information we store in cookies to personal Information you submit while using the Services.

Ad Providers may provide you with advertisements that you may see on the services or on affiliated websites. To improve the relevancy and help measure the effectiveness of such advertisements, the Ad Providers may use cookies, web beacons, clear GIFs, or similar technologies. These practices help tailor advertisements that are relevant and of use to you. You may control or opt out of such advertising by changing the cookie settings in your browser as described above.
