1. Cookie Technology: Usage and Reasons

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.

2. Consenting to Cookie Use

You have control over your cookie preferences. Upon your first visit, you will be prompted to either agree to our recommended settings or customize your cookie choices.
