Information About Cookies
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that is stored on a user’s device. A cookie can be either a “first” or “third” party cookie, depending on whether the cookies is placed directly by the website that the user is visiting (“first party cookie”) or whether the cookies are set by a third-party entity through the website that the user is visiting. The length of time that a cookie stays on your device will depend on whether the cookie is either a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Persistent cookies remain on a user’s device until the cookie expires or is deleted and they are activated each time that the user visits the website that placed the persistent cookie. Session cookies are created temporarily once a user opens a browser window and are deleted from your device once the browser is closed.
