What are cookies?
As is common practice with almost all professional websites, this website uses cookies—small text files that are downloaded to your device—to enhance your user experience. This page explains what information these cookies collect, how we use it, and why we sometimes need to store these cookies. We also share how you can prevent these cookies from being stored; however, please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this website or render certain features inoperative.

How we use cookies
We use cookies for a variety of purposes, detailed below. In most cases, there are no industry-standard options for disabling cookies without also disabling key features and functionality of the website. We therefore recommend that you keep cookies enabled unless you are certain you do not need them, especially if they are used to provide a service that you use.

Disabling cookies
You can prevent the setting of cookies by adjusting the settings in your browser (see your browser’s Help section for instructions). Please be aware that disabling cookies may impact the functionality of this and other websites you visit. Disabling cookies typically also disables certain features and services on this website. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to disable cookies.
