We use two broad categories of Cookies: (1) first-party cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device, which we use to recognize your computer or mobile device when it revisits our Site; and (2) third-party cookies, which are served by service providers on our Site, and can be used by such service providers to recognize your computer or mobile device when it visits other websites. Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies (third-party cookies) if you have consented to such use.
