Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your web browser (if permitted) to enable the site or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. We utilize cookies to understand and save your preferences for future visits and to compile aggregate data about site traffic and interactions.
