For example, they can recognize you and remember important information that will make your use of a website more convenient (e.g., by remembering your user preferences).

2. WHAT COOKIES DO WE USE?

Below we list the different types of cookies we may use on the Site. We may also use cookies and similar tools to relate your use of the Site to personal information obtained about you.

Flash Cookies.

We may, in certain situations, use Adobe Flash Player to deliver special content, such as video clips or animation.

Flash cookies are stored on your device, but they are managed through an interface different from the one provided by your web browser. This means it is not possible to manage Flash cookies at the browser level, in the same way you would manage cookies. Instead, you can access your Flash management tools from Adobe’s website directly. The Adobe website provides comprehensive information on how to delete or disable Flash cookies – see http://www.adobe.com/security/flashplayer for further information. Please be aware that if you disable or reject Flash cookies for this Site, you may not be able to access certain features, such as video content or services that require you to sign in.
