1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. They help the website remember information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you've seen a notice — so your next visit is easier and the site is more useful to you.

Some cookies are set by us ("first-party cookies") and some by third-party services we use ("third-party cookies").

You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site.

4. "Do Not Track" Signals
