- Cookies and Similar Technologies.
- What are Cookies? A cookie is a small piece of text that is sent to your browser by a website you visit. This piece of text acts as a sort of tag, letting the website know that it’s you (really, your device) that’s visiting. There are other technologies that act similarly, like web beacons, pixel tags, and Device IDs for apps, but for simplicity’s sake we’ll refer to them all as “cookies”.
- Websites can place their own cookies (called “first-party cookies”) but can also place cookies from other sites (called “third-party cookies”). If your browser holds both first and third-party cookies for a given website, both the website and the third party are notified when you visit the site. We may place both first and third-party cookies on our site.
- How We Use Cookies on our Site. While the specific names and types of cookies we use on our site may change from time to time, they generally fall into one of the categories listed below.
