Who sets Cookies?
Most of the Cookies on our website are set by our third-party service providers who perform tasks on our behalf.

Cookies that are set by third-party service providers are referred to as “third-party cookies.”
How long do Cookies stay on my device?
Cookies are categorized as “session” and “persistent” Cookies. While session Cookies are those that automatically expire immediately after a browsing session (i.e., when you close your browser), persistent Cookies, on the other hand, do not.
