Some cookies allow us to make it easier for You to navigate our Site and Services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track Your activities at our Site and Service. There are two types of cookies: session and persistent cookies.

Session Cookies 

Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from Your device when You close Your browser or turn off Your device. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify You during a session or while you are logged into the Site and Services. This allows us to process Your online transactions and requests and verify Your identity, after You have logged in, as You move through our Site and Services.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on Your device after You have closed Your browser or turned off Your device. We use persistent cookies to track aggregate and statistical information about user activity.

Disabling Cookies

Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if You prefer, You can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell You how to prevent Your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify You when You receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.

Transfer of Your personal data

Your information, including Personal Data, is processed at Our operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located. It means that this information may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of Your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those in Your jurisdiction.

Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by Your submission of such information represents Your agreement to that transfer.
