More About the Cookies We Use

Persistent Cookies

These Cookies remain on your device for the duration specified in the cookie. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie.

Session Cookies

These Cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. They are deleted when the current session ends. The “current session” is defined by your browser, and some browsers use session restoration when restarting, which can cause session cookies to persist indefinitely.

First-Party Cookies

First-party Cookies are placed by the website you are visiting at the time (e.g., cookies placed by us). We use first-party Cookies when you create an account, log in, or use any of our services. Occasionally, we may also use Cookies to test new features of our Site or web-based services with a subset of our audience.

Third-Party Cookies

Third-party Cookies are set by a domain other than the website you are currently visiting. For example, if you visit our Site and another entity sets a cookie through our Site, this would be a third-party cookie.

Clear GIFs, Pixel Tags, and Other Similar Technologies

Clear GIFs, also known as web beacons, web bugs, or pixel tags, are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. Unlike cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use clear GIFs in connection with our Site to track user activities, manage content, and compile statistics about Site usage. We and our third-party service providers may also use clear GIFs in HTML emails to our customers to track email response rates, identify when emails are viewed, and track whether they are forwarded
