What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files containing a string of characters stored on your computer or mobile device. These files uniquely identify your browser or device.

Cookies allow a site or service to know if your computer or device has visited that site or service before. Cookies can help understand how people use the site or service.

  2. Performance Cookies. These cookies collect information about how you have used the site or service. For example, they may store your unique username, placing less strain on our infrastructure.

The information these cookies collect may be anonymous. They are not used to track your browsing activity on other sites or services.
