What is a Cookie?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer’s hard drive by websites you visit to enable the site to ’remember’ who you are, and maybe to allow functions on the site to work for you. In general, cookies are only visible to the site that serves them, not to other websites.

These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and are only used for the statistical collection of data such as visits and page use.

Google uses the cookies to read information and evaluate visitors’ use of the website in the form of statistical reports that we can access. The Google Analytics code is incorporated into our site’s code so that our site serves the cookies, but Google has access to the cookies.
