Cookies are small text files that are sent to or accessed from your web browser or your device's memory. A cookie typically contains the name of the domain (internet location) from which the cookie originated, the “lifetime” of the cookie (i.e., when it expires) and a randomly generated unique number or other identifiers. A cookie also may contain information about your device, such as user settings, browsing history and activities conducted while using our services.
First-party cookies are placed on your device directly by us.

There are session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies only last until you close your browser. We use session cookies for a variety of reasons, including to learn more about your use of our website during one single browser session and to help you to use our website more efficiently.
Persistent CookiesPersistent cookies have a longer lifespan and aren't automatically deleted when you close your browser. These types of cookies are primarily used to help you quickly sign-in to our website again and for analytical purposes.
Do you use other tracking technologies?Other technologies such as web beacons (also called pixel tags or clear gifs), tracking URLs or software development kits (SDKs) can also be used.

Tracking URLs are custom generated links that help us understand where the traffic to our webpages comes from. SDKs are small pieces of code included in apps, which function like cookies and web beacons.
