Cookies
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your device’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Site and Online Services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities at our Site and Online Service. There are two types of cookies: session and persistent cookies.
- Session Cookies. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your device when you close your browser or turn off your device. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or while you are logged into the Site and Online Services. This allows us to verify your identity after you have logged in, as you move through our Site and Online Services.
