Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

We use first party and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website.

Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience since it will no longer be personalized to you.

Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Our website does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals as there is no standard for how online services should respond to such signals.
