Introduction

To make our website work properly, we use small data files which are placed on your device. This notice provides you with information about cookies and how to control them for this site and our applications.

What is a cookie?

A “cookie” is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are then are sent back to the originating site on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to identify a user’s device, understand how people use our site and applications and which pages are most popular to enable us to serve our site visitors and application users well.

Cookies perform many functions, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving your experience with our services.

Cookies Used on this Site

We use session ID cookies to enable you to access the members content. A session ID cookie expires once you close your browser. You may reject these cookies, but if you do, your ability to use some areas of our site, products or services may be limited.

In addition to session ID cookies, we also use semi-persistent cookies in some areas of our site. For example, if you check the “remember me” box, then the cookie will remain for two weeks from your last visit.

Required Cookies

Required cookies are those cookies necessary for the website or application to function and cannot be turned off in our systems. These cookies are usually only set in response to actions made by you that are, primarily, a request for services. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but if you do, some parts of our Services will not work.

These cookies include:

CraftSessionId

Our site relies on PHP sessions to maintain sessions across web requests via the PHP session cookie.

We use this to store your consent on what non-essential cookies you are allowing.

This cookie expires after 3 months.

Performance Cookies

Performance cookies allow us to count visits to our site and determine traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website and Services. These cookies allow us to gauge the popularity of pages and how visitors navigate through our Services. The information collected within these cookies is used by us to analyze trends, administer our site, track user’s movements around our site and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based upon these technologies on an individual or aggregated basis.

How to Control and Delete Cookies

Open the cookie control window at the bottom right of the website to turn off non-essential cookies. Many of the cookies used on our website and through emails can be enabled or disabled by disabling the cookies through your browser. To disable cookies through your browser, follow the instructions usually located within the “Help,” “Tools” or “Edit” menus in your browser. Please note that disabling a cookie or category of cookies does not delete an existing cookie from your browser unless you delete it manually through your browser function.

Browsing Session Duration

Some cookies such as CraftSessionId are intended to expire at the end of a browsing session. A browsing session typically ends when you close the browser window, but this behavior may vary depending on which browser and your browser preferences. In Chrome, for example, the “Continue where you left off” option for the “On startup” setting will prevent session cookies from being deleted, thereby extending your sessions indefinitely.
