Cookies.  Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Site and Services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities at our Site and 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. We may use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or while you are logged into the Site. This allows us to process your online transactions and requests and verify your identity, after you have logged in, as you move through our Site.

Opt-out of Online Behavioral Advertising

Some of the ads you see on the Web or in applications on your mobile device are tailored to your interests and based on your activity online or in the applications on your mobile device. This type of ad tailoring — sometimes called "interest-based" or "online behavioral" advertising — is enabled through various technologies, including browser cookies, mobile advertising identifiers as well as other non-cookie technologies. A person can opt-out of certain behavioral advertising by using the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out tools. The NAI opt-out tool reports which member companies (mostly third party advertising companies that assist advertising in placing such advertising) have placed a cookie that can be used for interest-based advertising on your browser by checking for the presence of such cookies and reporting back whether it found any "active" cookies. The NAI opt-out tool also allows you to set cookies that will tell NAI members you do not want to participate in interest-based advertising. The tool does not delete individual cookies nor does it necessarily replace other cookies delivered by NAI companies, such as those that are used for ad reporting or ad serving purposes that, for example, allow advertisers to change the sequence of ads, as well as to track the number of ads delivered.  For more information, or to access the tool, please go to https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1.
