What Are Cookies

As is common practice with almost all professional websites, this site uses cookies, which are tiny files downloaded to your computer or device, to improve your experience. This policy describes what information they gather, how we use it, and why we sometimes need to store these cookies. We will also share how you can manage or prevent these cookies from being stored; however, this may downgrade or ‘break’ certain elements of the site's functionality.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for a variety of reasons detailed below. Unfortunately, in most cases, there are no industry-standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to this site. It is recommended that you leave on all cookies if you are not sure whether you need them or not, in case they are used to provide a service that you use.
