Please be aware that advertisers and other third parties may use their own cookie tags when you click on an advertisement. These third parties are responsible for setting out their own cookie and privacy policies. Persistent cookies are cookies saved on your computer that are not deleted automatically when you quit your browser, unlike a session cookie, which is deleted when you quit your browser.  The first time you visit our Website, you will be prompted to accept or refuse cookies and manage your preferences. The purpose is to enable the site to remember your preferences for a certain period of time. Cookies can also be used to establish anonymized statistics about the browsing experience on our sites.
