The length of time a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing, and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device.

You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Please keep in mind that deleting or blocking cookies may negatively impact your user experience and that some parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser's controls, often found in the "Tools" or "Preferences" menu of your browser. More information on how to change your browser settings or how to block, manage, or filter cookies can be found in your browser's help file or on sites such as: www.allaboutcookies.org .
