Temporary Cookies
Our web site requires the use of "temporary" cookies. The concept is similar to visiting a theme park and receiving a hand stamp which allows entrance and exit throughout the day. Temporary cookies do not actually write anything to your hard drive.
Permanent Cookies
Certain actions on our web site employ the use of permanent cookies. These allow the site to identify you and save some of your preferences. Unlike a temporary cookie, that is similar to a day pass at a theme park, a permanent cookie is like a long-term pass. Permanent cookies write a small text file to your hard drive.
