1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner.

Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access files stored on your computer beyond the data they were given to remember. Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can adjust your settings to refuse or delete them.

On this site, we keep cookie use to a minimum. We do not use cookies for advertising, and we do not share tracking data with ad networks.
