What Are "Cookies" and How Are They Used
To enhance your experience with the Site, we use "cookies." Cookies are text files we place on your computer to store your preferences.

We also may use cookies to display to you products, programs, or services that you may find of particular interest. We may also use small pieces of code called "web beacons" (also known as "clear gifs" or "pixel tags") to collect anonymous and aggregate advertising metrics, such as counting page views, promotion views, or advertising responses. These "web beacons" may be used in conjunction with cookies that conform to our cookie policy.
