Cookies and IP Management

Cookies are small text files or pieces of information that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit our website. A cookie contains the name of the website and a value, which can be used for a variety of purposes.

“Session” cookies are held in memory and only exist during your visit to our website. “Persistent” cookies are stored on your device until they expire, and can therefore be used by our website on your subsequent visits. All persistent cookies have a “lifetime” which dictates how long the cookie will remain active on your device.

Our cookies do not contain any data that could be used to identify you personally.

We only use cookies set by the website owner, which are called “first party cookies.” Of those cookies, we only use “essential cookies,” or cookies that are strictly necessary to provide you with the System.

Most of the cookies that we deploy are “session” cookies, which are temporary cookies that expire once you close your browser or your session ends. We also drop “persistent” cookies in limited circumstances, which are cookies that remain on your hard drive until you erase them or your browser does, depending on the cookie’s expiration date. As detailed below, we use information from cookies for purposes such as (i) identifying returning users and registrants and (ii) enabling you to move more easily around our System.

How to Manage or Disable Cookies: To control your cookie preferences, you can use the tools we provide on our site. Disabling cookies might affect the functionality of the website. To disable cookies, change your browser settings to reject them. We may prompt you to set your cookie preferences separately on our site.

Data Retention Approach

Our retention of Personal Data is strictly tied to the purposes laid out in our Privacy Policy. We retain Usage Data to enhance service security, functionality, and to adhere to statutory retention guidelines.
