Session cookies last until you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain 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 first downloaded.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can choose to block or delete them. Please note that removing or blocking cookies may negatively impact your browsing experience, and some parts of our website may no longer function properly.
