What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files which are downloaded to your browser or device when you visit a website. We use them to make our Websites work, or work more efficiently.

Our Websites use both first party cookies (which we set) and third party cookies (which we don’t set and cannot access or control). Some cookies are temporary and disappear when you close your browser or turn off your computer. These are called “session cookies.” Other cookies remain on your computer, even after it’s been turned off or you’ve closed your browser. These are called “persistent cookies.”
Below are the different types of cookies, how we use them, and the choices you have.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies let you use the different parts of our Websites. We use them to make sure our digital services work. Because the services you’ve asked for can’t be provided without them, they’re always on when you visit our Websites.

Performance cookies teach us about how people using our Websites, help us make sure that our Websites are working properly, and let us know when we need to fix any glitches. None of this information can be used to identify you. It is all aggregated and, therefore, anonymized. Because these cookies provide us with analytical information on how our site and services are performing and we can improve our site and services, we sometimes call them “Analytics Cookies.”
Performance cookies show us which are the most frequently visited pages on the Site, allow us to see the overall patterns of usage on the Site, help us record any difficulties you have with the Site and show us whether our advertising is effective or not.
