• Cookies

The Website collects ‘cookies’ when you visit it.

A cookie is a small piece of data that a website can send to your browser for storage (i.e. so it can later be read back from that browser). The purpose of cookies includes providing more tailored communications from websites.

Cookies may collect information (including Personal Information), such as user preferences, general usage information, membership information and unique identifiers. Cookies may, in some circumstances, also remain on your device after you leave the Website.

Your browser will return the cookie information only to the domain from where the cookie originated, i.e., the Website, and no other website can request this information. When you return to the Website, the cookie is sent back to the web server, along with your new request.

We may disclose your Personal Information:
