3. Cookies
We may collect information about you using “cookies.” A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a website and stored on your computer or other device. Cookies alone do not tell us your e-mail address or other personal information unless you choose to provide this information to us by, for example, subscribing to our newsletter. Once you choose to provide us with personal information, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie.
You can modify your cookie preferences by accessing your web browser’s settings. Please note that if you delete or choose not to accept cookies from the Services, you may not be able to utilize the features of the Services to their fullest potential.
