Reporting and Analytics 

The length of time that 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 removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience  and 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 controls, often found in your  browser’s “Tools” or “Preferences” menu. For more information on how to  modify your browser settings or how to block, manage or filter cookies can be  found in your browser’s help file or through such sites  

as: www.allaboutcookies.org.
