They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently for visitors and to provide website owners with traffic information. Cookies cannot carry viruses or install malware. Cookies allow the server to deliver personalized pages for the users. When users load the website, the browser retrieves their previous activity. This allows the browser to keep the user logged in and many other functions that make the navigation more effective.
    There are different types of cookies for the different functions. None of them contain personally identifiable data, which means the website doesn’t know the visitor’s name or any personal information by collecting cookies. The users can opt out of all cookie collection at any time.

A trusted third party ad serving provider cookie is stored to effectively deliver relevant advertising throughout our websites and other sites that use compliant ad exchange networks.
