We use Cookies, and similar tracking technology like pixels, to recognize you, to help personalize your online experience, and for our own marketing and advertising purposes. A Cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. These Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web page server in the domain that issued the Cookie to you. We use Cookies to store information on your computer in order to save you time by eliminating the need to enter repeatedly the same information in order to display personalized content on later visits to the websites.
