This cookies policy (the “Cookies Policy”) contains information on how we use cookies and similar technologies on the Service.

What is a Cookie?
Cookies are pieces of information shared between your web browser and a website, or your cellphone and an app. Use of cookies enables a faster and easier experience for the user. A cookie cannot read data off your computer’s hard drive. For more information on cookies, visit https://allaboutcookies.org/.
There are different kinds of cookies with different functions:
- Session cookies: these are only stored on your computer or device during your session. They are automatically deleted when the browser is closed, or you leave that website. They usually store an anonymous session ID allowing you to browse a website without having to log in to each page. They do not collect any information from your computer.
- Persistent cookies: a persistent cookie is one stored as a file on your device, and it remains there when you close your web browser. The cookie can be read by the website that created it when you visit that website again. Persistent cookies can be login credentials, language preferences, and other customized settings.
- First-party cookies: the function of this type of cookie is to retain your preferences for a particular website or app for the entity that owns that website or app. They are stored and sent between the provider’s servers and your device. They are not used for anything other than for personalization as set by you. These cookies may be either session or persistent cookies.
- Third-party cookies: the function of this type of cookie is to retain your interaction with a particular website or app for an entity that does not own that website or app. They are stored and sent between the third party’s server and your device. These cookies are usually persistent cookies.
Except as described in this Cookies Policy, we do not use third-party cookies on the Service, although we do use third party provided web beacons (please see the section on Web Beacons below).

These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.
Performance
These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website or app, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages.

These cookies do not collect information that identifies a person, as all information these cookies collect is anonymous and is used to improve how the Service works.
Functionality
These cookies allow the Service to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced features.

These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, font and other parts of the Service that you can customize. They may also be used to provide services you have requested such as viewing a video or commenting on an article. The information these cookies collect is usually anonymized.
