When you use our Services, we may automatically collect certain information. To collect this information, we and our service providers may use “cookies” or similar tools that track the behaviors of users of the Services. Cookies are small data files that can be stored on your browser and device so we can recognize you when you return. We use functional cookies to deliver certain features of the Services, such as allowing you to stay logged in, enabling the Website to function, and analyzing use of the Website. You may set your web browser to notify you when you receive a cookie and to accept or refuse certain cookies. However, if you elect not to accept cookies, some functionality and areas of the Services may be restricted. To learn how to manage your cookies, please follow the instructions from your specific browser, or if accessing the Services via a mobile device, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
