Last Updated

This Cookie Policy was last updated on June 1, 2024. We encourage you to periodically consult this page for the latest updates. Your ongoing use of our website indicates your acceptance of our practices.

Certain compliance and transparency requirements exist pertaining to cookies and the use of cookies. To facilitate the explanation as to what a cookie is, we offer the following example from Wikipedia: Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers – either text files or pieces of data – that are stored by the Web browser on parties utilizing our services’ computers. Tied to certain information about their end-users, cookies can be used to identify those end-users when their same computer and method of login are used. However, that does not mean that it allows for tracking of a specific individual using a specific computer (as multiple parties may be using the same computer but have separate profiles on it) – only that party’s method of login. We recommend that you become familiar with cookies and how they work. We also recommend that you contact any relevant third party provider of products or services of interest to you that may use cookies on their site(s).
