Types of Cookies
Cookies may be either "persistent" cookies or "session" cookies and "first party" cookies or "third party" cookies. Each type of cookies is described below.
A session cookie is stored temporarily in your browser. It will be deleted from your browser when it expires, or when the web browser is closed (whichever comes first).
A persistent cookie is a cookie that is not stored temporarily in your browser, but instead it is stored in your computer for a fixed period of time.
First-party cookies are cookies set by a website visited by the user—the website displayed in the URL window.
Third-party cookies are cookies set by a domain other than the one being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and a separate company sets a cookie through that website the cookie would be a third party cookie. At times we contract with independent research companies and/or third party statistical services to perform services for us and when this is the case these third parties may send you cookies. They may use the information they obtain from your use of their cookies for the information described under "Uses of Cookies."
