Rationale Behind Our Cookie Usage
We only use cookies set by the website owner, which are called “first party cookies.” Of those cookies, we only use “essential cookies,” or cookies that are strictly necessary to provide you with the System.
Most of the cookies that we deploy are “session” cookies, which are temporary cookies that expire once you close your browser or your session ends. We also drop “persistent” cookies in limited circumstances, which are cookies that remain on your hard drive until you erase them or your browser does, depending on the cookie’s expiration date. As detailed below, we use information from cookies for purposes such as (i) identifying returning users and registrants and (ii) enabling you to move more easily around our System.
External Cookies and Their Tracking Methods

Furthermore, we use these technologies to integrate social media features, video content, and links to other social networks, making it easier to share content across different platforms. Sometimes, the integration of these site features allows third parties to place cookies or local storage devices on your device.
