Cookie Policy

Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by browsers on a computer's hard drive. Our website uses cookies to help users access our website, speed up navigation, keep track of items, and provide users with custom-tailored content. We also use cookies to remember information that users provided so they do not have to re-enter it each time they visit our website. We use four types of cookies:

Essential: cookies that are essential to provide users with services they have requested. If users set their browser to block these cookies, then these functions and services will not work. In particular, we will not be able to save a user's preferences about cookies.
Performance: cookies that measure how often users visit our sites and how they use them. We use this information to get a better sense of how our users engage with our site so that users have a better experience. For example, we collect information about which of our pages are most frequently visited, and by which types of users. We also use third-party cookies to help with performance. For example, the Google Analytics cookie gives us information such as users' journey between pages and whether users have downloaded anything.
Functionality: cookies that are used to recognize a user and remember a user's preferences or settings when they return to our site, so that we can provide the user with a more personalized experience.
Advertising: cookies that are used to collect information about users' visits to our site, the content users have viewed, the links users have followed, and information about users' browser, device and IP address.

These various technologies are used in analyzing trends, administering the website, tracking users' movements around the website, and gathering information about our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies on an individual as well as aggregated basis. We gather some information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

Cookie Consent

In most cases we will need a user's consent in order to use cookies on the website. Exceptions apply where the cookie is essential in order for us to provide a user with a service they have requested. If a user visits our website when their browser is set to accept cookies, we will interpret this as an indication that the user consents to our use of cookies and other similar technologies as described in this policy. If a user changes their mind in the future about letting us use cookies, the user can modify the settings of their browser to reject cookies or disable cookies completely. If a user does not want to accept cookies, they can change their browser settings so that cookies are not accepted. If users do this, they should be aware that some of the functionality of this website may be lost. We do not knowingly collect or process data from anyone under the age of thirteen (13) years old.
