[INSERT OTHER COOKIES OR TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES YOU USE].

The length of time a cookie is retained on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing and persistent cookies until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device.

You can control and manage cookies in different ways. Please keep in mind that deleting or blocking cookies may have a negative impact on your user experience and that some parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser's controls, often located in the "Tools" or "Preferences" menu of your browser. For more information on how to change your browser settings or how to block, manage or filter cookies, consult your browser's help file or sites such as www.allaboutcookies.org.

In addition, please note that blocking cookies may not completely prevent the way we share information with third parties such as our advertising partners. To exercise your rights or opt-out of certain uses of your information by these parties, please follow the instructions in the "Behavioral Advertising" section above.
