What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a minimal text document, which often includes a unique anonymous identifier. When you visit a Website, that site’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each Website can send its cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
As you use our Website, the site uses its cookies to differentiate you from other users. In some cases, We also use cookies to prevent you from seeing unnecessary advertisements. In conjunction with the Web server’s log files, Cookies allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting the Website and which parts of the site are most popular. This help us gather feedback in order to improve our Website and better serve our customers constantly. Cookies do not allow us to collect any personal information about you, and We do not generally store any personal information that you provided to us in your cookies.
