Your Consent & Choices About Cookies.
On your first visit to our website, a pop-up banner appeared to disclose that we use cookies to improve the functionality and performance of our website as well as the means for you to control them. You will see this banner each time you visit the website until you take action to respond to it.
For visitors located outside of the United States, when you click on the “Accept All Cookies” button, you agree that we can “use” (collect, save, store, change, transfer (including trans-border transfer) and delete) cookies as described below. You also agree that your personal data (including any personally identifiable information) may be collected and stored by third parties located in the United States. Please see the “How Do We Use Particular Cookies?” section below for more information.
Regardless of your location, if you would like to manage the use of the cookies (except for strictly necessary cookies) or withdraw your consent, where applicable, you can click on the “Customize Cookies” button or use the Cookie Preference Center to turn those categories off or on, as well as to learn more about them.
What is a Cookie, How We Use Them & How Long They Stay.
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your web browser when you visit our websites. Cookies help us distinguish you from other visitors by allowing us to learn and remember your actions and preferences on our websites.

There are two broad categories of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie expires and disappears when you close your browser. A persistent cookie stays on your device for a pre-defined time period or until you manually delete it.

If you block third-party cookies through the Cookie Preference Center, this will also disable any related web beacons, SDKs, pixels, or similar tools that third parties may set on your device.
