Cookies may be encrypted for information privacy and data security purposes. Cookies may be set by the server with or without an expiration date. According to the settings on the user’s browser, cookies may be declined. However, in such case certain functionality on our website may no longer be available.
Cookies may be encountered from third parties via links made available on the payment pages of our website which cannot be controlled by us (for example, if a user views a website created by a third party or uses an application developed by a third party, there may be a cookie placed by that webpage or application). We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as non-personal information.

When you click one of these URLs, they pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page on the website. We may track this click-through data to help determine interest topics and measure the effectiveness of customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click on text or graphic links in the email messages.
