What are cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on your computer by a web browser (such as Internet Explorer, FireFox, Chrome or Opera) at the request of the website you are browsing. This allows the browsing site to remember certain things about you. For example, your settings and history, or to keep you in an authorized state where you no longer need to enter your username and password the next time you visit the site.

Cookies may be stored on your computer for a short period of time (for example, while your browser is open) or for a long period of time, even years. Cookies set by other websites will not be available to us.
