Cookies are small files that are sent to your browser and, depending on your choices, are stored on your device (computer, tablet, cell phone) when you visit a website. Cookies allow us to identify your device during future visits to the website, in particular to improve the website and provide you with personalized services.

We use cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve the site.

The cookies we use allow us to recognize your device, so you don’t have to enter the same information multiple times during the same task. They also recognize when you enter your username and password, so you don’t have to do that for every web page you visit.

They also measure how many people use our websites so that we can make them easier to use and provide enough performance to speed up the site.

Some cookies contain personal information, for example, if you click the “Remember me” button when you log in, the cookie remembers your username.

Most cookies will not collect information that personally identifies you. They will collect more general information, such as how users access and use our websites, or a user’s general location.
