They are used by websites for authentication, storing website information/preferences, other browsing information, and anything else that can help the Web browser while accessing Web servers. HTTP cookies are known by many different names, including browser cookies, Web cookies, or HTTP cookies.
We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which usually stay on your computer until you delete them or expire after a predetermined amount of time) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Site.

We use different types of Cookies:

This table helps describe the various reasons for our usages of cookies:
