What are cookies?
Cookies are small files which are stored on a user's computer. They are designed to hold a modest amount of data specific to a particular client and website, and can be accessed either by the web server or the client computer. This allows the server to deliver a page tailored to a particular user, or the page itself can contain some script which is aware of the data in the cookie and so is able to carry information from one visit to the website (or related site) to the next.

On this page we aim to list cookies which we have issued to your browser through your use of our website, or to provide you with an appropriate tool for removing any third-party cookies which have been set.

Local Storage
We use JavaScript-based localStorage in cases where the amount of information being stored is too large to fit in a standard cookie or when we need to store a value without automatically reading it. Because localStorage is not sent over HTTP requests, we have no way of reading it without manually sending values to our backend service. This provides an extra layer of privacy because we do not actually read values from localStorage until after a user has consented to our privacy policy.
| Name & Description | Duration | Status |

mc_landing Stores the date/time, url, and referring page the first time a visitor arrives on our site (encoded in base64 format). We do not read this information until after a user has consented to our privacy policy via explicit interaction. We also do not read this information if a user has indicated that they are on a public or shared computer when filling out a form. This information is not shared with third parties. |
* Local Storage does not expire |
