What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files sent from a website you are browsing to your computer. Your computer stores the cookies inside your web browser. Cookies enable websites to recognize your browser and remember certain information. There are other technologies similar to cookies, these include electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags and single-pixel gifs), unique identifiers that identify a browser, app, device or operating system and IP addresses used to connect your computer. All of these technologies, cookies and the others listed, allow us and our service providers to identify returning visitors and tell us things such as how many people visited our websites, the pages or content that were accessed, time spent on a page or website, and whether there were any technical problems in loading pages. We also use cookies and other technologies for security purposes and to display information more effectively. By collecting this information, we learn what parts of our websites are the most interesting or valuable to our visitors, and can monitor overall interest in, and functioning of, our websites. We also use them to ensure that advertisements you see online are more relevant to you and your interests, and we may use cookies to track responses and views of our advertisements. Cookies and other technologies are also used in emails to understand who opened an email and for other related statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain content and verifying system and server integrity).
