What are cookies?

I may collect information using “cookies.” Cookies are small data files stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device by a website.

These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through my Site and to enable you to use some of its features. For example, they allow you to log in to secure areas of my Site and help the content of the pages you request load quickly. Without these cookies, the services that you have asked for cannot be provided, and I only use these cookies to provide you with those services.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow my Site to remember choices you make when you use my Site, [such as remembering your language preferences, remembering your login details and remembering the changes you make to other parts of my Site which you can customize.
