What cookies are
Cookies are small pieces of data that a website or service provider can store in a browser. Similar technologies, including local storage and related identifiers, can also remember preferences, support security, measure usage, or help deliver services.
Essential and security technologies
Some technologies may be necessary for site operation, security, fraud prevention, session handling, load balancing, or administrative functions. These technologies are used to provide or protect requested website functionality.
Preference and functionality technologies
Preference technologies may remember choices that improve usability, such as interface state or other settings. Their exact use can change as site features evolve.
Analytics and performance technologies
If analytics or performance measurement is enabled, these services may use cookies or similar identifiers to understand aggregate traffic, page usage, device characteristics, errors, and performance. The information helps evaluate how the site is used and where technical improvements may be needed.
Advertising technologies
If advertising is enabled, advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies for ad delivery, frequency control, fraud prevention, measurement, and, where permitted, personalization. Third-party providers apply their own policies to the information they process.
