Websites use various types of cookies to fulfill many functions. Depending on the function they need to achieve, cookies may be temporary; staying on your device only for the duration of your browsing session (session cookies) or permanently placed on your device memory (persistent cookies) to remember your preferences. Cookies may be placed by the operators of the website you are visiting or by other operators setting cookies through that website (third party cookies). As such, any cookie we use will fit into one of the following categories:

2) Performance Cookies
These cookies collect general information about how our website is used in order to generate usage reports that allow us to improve the user experience and the quality of our site and service.

These cookies will often be placed permanently on your browser’s memory, unless you choose to delete them.

We also retain service providers who use web beacons to assess the effectiveness of our email communications and learn what pages our visitors viewed.
