COOKIES
To enhance the responsiveness of the application and to enhance your experience on our services, we may place ‘cookies’, or similar electronic tools on your computer or device.

The only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply. A cookie cannot read data from your hard drive.
Our advertisers may also assign their own cookies to your browser (if you click on their ads), a process that we do not control. Most browsers automatically accept cookies but you can set your browser option so that you will not receive cookies and you can also delete existing cookies from your browser.
OPTING OUT
If a user opts out using the Ads Settings, the unique Double Click cookie ID on the user’s browser is overwritten with the phrase ‘OPT_OUT’. Because there is no longer a unique cookie ID, the opt-out cookie can’t be associated with a particular browser.
