What are cookies?

A cookie is a small piece of information that a web site sends to your computer, which is stored in a file on your hard drive. The next time you visit our web site, we may use the information stored in your cookie file to facilitate your use of our web site. For example, we may use your cookie file to store a password so that you do not have to input it every time you move to a different section of a password-protected portion of our web site. A cookie does not tell us your individual identity unless you have chosen to provide it to us.

Most cookies expire after a defined period of time, or you can delete your cookie file at any time you choose. In addition, you can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie so that you can decide whether to accept or reject it.

We also use a type of cookie called a web bug (or web beacon), which is a tiny graphical image placed on a web page. Similar in function to a cookie, a web bug can tell us information such as what kind of browser is being used and what time of day this page was accessed. Some web bugs can include information such as your IP address. Some technologies will notify you of the presence of web bugs, but browsers typically do not notify you of them.


Will I get an error message when I disable cookies?

Our site uses cookies and we will alert you to turn them on if you have cookies disabled. Disabling cookies may prevent some sites from operating correctly. Many sites may prompt you to turn cookies on in your browser and re-enter information that was stored in the cookie.


What if I enable cookies and still get an error message?

  • If you enable cookies in your browser but you still receive a message that your browser's cookie settings are turned off, try opening a new window or closing other tabs
  • If the problem persists, try clearing your cache and cookies
