Use of Cookies

The Site may use “cookies” to help personalize a Visitor’s online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on the Visitor’s hard disk by a web page server.

When you return to the same websites, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Company features that you may have customized.
