On the Internet, a cookie is a piece of information that a Website transfers to a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. As a user moves from page to page at our Website, a cookie is the only way that we have of knowing who you are. An activity on one page may depend on what you selected on a previous page. We use a cookie to keep track of your selection. Without cookies, users may be asked to provide the same information repeatedly. Some activities may not function at all.

If you prefer, you can set your browser to alert you when cookies are in use. You may also disable or refuse cookies.
