The length of time a cookie remains 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 last until they expire or are deleted. Most 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 a number of ways. Keep in mind that removing or blocking cookies may adversely affect your user experience and parts of our Web site may no longer be fully accessible.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through browser controls, often found 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, see your browser's help file or through sites such as: www.allaboutcookies.org.

Also, keep in mind 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, follow the instructions in the “Behavioral Advertising” section above.
