Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Services, while others allow us to track your activities at our Services. There are two types of cookies: session and persistent cookies.
    • Session Cookies. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your computer.
