Types of Cookies We Use
We use different types of cookies for various purposes. Some cookies are essential for the functioning of our website, while others help us improve performance and user experience.
How Long Do Cookies Stay On Your Device
The length of time a cookie will remain on your device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie.
- Session cookies remain on your device until you close your browser, at which point they are deleted.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are deleted. The duration for which each persistent cookie remains valid varies depending on its purpose.
Most cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and 2 years from the date they are downloaded to your device. You can see the specific expiration date of each cookie in your browser settings.
