Cookie Usage Details
Cookies are small pieces of data stored on your device (computer or mobile device).
To enhance site responsiveness for our users, we may utilize “cookies” or similar electronic tools. These help gather information by assigning each visitor a unique, random number as a User Identification (User ID) to comprehend individual interests using the Identified Computer. Unless you voluntarily identify yourself (through registration, for instance), we cannot personally identify you, even if we assign a cookie to your device. Cookies cannot read data from your hard drive. Additionally, our advertisers may assign their own cookies to your browser (if you click on their ads), a process beyond our control.
Our web servers automatically capture limited information about your device’s internet connection, including your IP address, upon visiting our site. Your IP address does not personally identify you but helps in delivering requested web pages, tailoring our site to user interests, measuring site traffic, and informing advertisers about visitor locations.
