What Are Cookies

As is common practice with almost all professional websites, this site uses cookies, which are tiny files downloaded to your computer, to potentially improve your experience. This cookie policy page describes what information they gather, how we use it, and why we sometimes need to store these cookies. We will also share how you can prevent these cookies from being stored; however, this may downgrade or ‘break’ certain elements of the site’s functionality.

For more general information on cookies, see the Wikipedia article on HTTP Cookies.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for a variety of reasons, detailed below. Unfortunately, in most cases, there are no industry standard options for turning off cookies without completely turning off the functionality and features they may add to this site. It is recommended that you leave on all cookies if you are unsure whether you need them in case they are used to provide a service you use.

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in a cookie. These cookies are for your convenience, so you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
