Cookies used on the site include:
- First-party cookies. These cookies are served directly by us.
- Third-party cookies. If an entity that does not operate a website sets a cookie through that website, this would be a third-party cookie. Third-party cookies can be used for a variety of purposes, including to enable site analytics, advertising, and social media services provided by the third-0party to the website operator.
- Persistent cookies. These cookies remain on a user’s device for the period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that set that particular cookie.
- Session cookies. These cookies allow website operators to log the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user visits a page and finishes when they close the browser window. Once you close the browser, session cookies expire or are deleted.
You can learn more about cookies and how to control them at www.allaboutcookies.org.

Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are necessary for a website to function and cannot be switched off.

We use these cookies to authenticate you as being logged in to the Sites, to make sure you connect to the right service on the Sites, to store your preferences, and for security purposes.
Analytics cookies. These cookies allow us to count visits and analyze activity on the Sites so we can measure and improve the performance of our Sites.

Other technologies
Browser Web Storage. We may use browser web storage (including via HTML5), also known as locally stored objects, for similar purposes as cookies. Browser web storage enables the storage of a larger amount of data than cookies. Your web browser may provide functionality to clear your browser web storage.

Pixel tags are used to demonstrate that a webpage was accessed or that certain content was viewed, typically to measure the success of our marketing campaigns or engagement with our emails and to compile statistics about usage of the Sites, so that we can manage our content more effectively.
