By accessing and using the Website, you consent to the use of cookies, as described in this Policy.

We expressly reserve the right to modify this Policy from time to time. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our cookie practices. Your continued use of the Website constitutes your agreement to be bound by such changes to this Policy. Your only remedy, if you do not accept the terms of this Policy, is to discontinue use of the Website or to refuse accepting cookies by using your browser's settings.

What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

A cookie is a small text file that is stored in your web browser that allows the Website or a third party to recognize you as a visitor. Cookies might be used for the following purposes: (1) to enable certain functions; (2) to provide analytics; (3) to store your preferences; and (4) to enable ad delivery and behavioral advertising.

Cookies can either be session cookies or persistent cookies. A session cookie expires automatically when you close your browser. A persistent cookie will remain until it expires, or until you delete your cookies from your browser. Expiration dates are set in the cookies themselves; some may expire after a few minutes while others may expire after longer periods.

Cookies placed by the website you're visiting are sometimes called "first party cookies,"while cookies placed by other entities are sometimes called "third party cookies."

We also use related technologies like pixels (tiny images placed in web pages or emails) and scripts (JavaScript code) that can collect information about your interactions with the Platform. Pixel tags (also known as web beacons or clear GIFs) are typically transparent graphic images placed on a website. These pixels are used in combination with cookies to measure the actions of visitors to our Website.
