“Cookies” are small text files that are placed on your hard drive by a Web server when you access our Services. We may use both session Cookies and persistent Cookies to identify that you’ve logged in to the Services and to tell us how and when you interact with our Services. We may also use Cookies to monitor aggregate usage and web traffic routing on our Services and to customize and improve our Services. Unlike persistent Cookies, session Cookies are deleted when you log off from the Services and close your browser.
Although most browsers automatically accept Cookies, you can change your browser options to stop automatically accepting Cookies or to prompt you before accepting Cookies.
Browser manufacturers provide help pages relating to cookie management in their products. Please see below for more information.

In addition to the above, you can exercise your cookie preferences by clicking on the appropriate opt-out links provided in the cookie table, below.
Some third-party services providers that we engage (including third-party advertisers) may also place their own Cookies on your hard drive.

Our vendors show our ads on websites across the Internet; however, our vendors may specifically serve you ads for the Services on other websites if you have previously visited our Website.
You can opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting Google’s Ads Settings (http://www.google.com/settings/ads). You can also opt out of other third-party vendors’ use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page (http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp).

We also use “Web Beacons” (also known as clear gifs). These are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that may beincluded on our Services for several purposes, including to deliver or communicate with Cookies, to track and measure the performance of our Services, to monitor how many visitors view our Services, and to monitor the effectiveness of our advertising. Unlike Cookies, which are stored on the user’s hard drive, Web Beacons are typically embedded invisibly on web pages (or in an e-mail).
We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Statement regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top of this Cookie Statement indicates when it was last updated.
