Session cookies last until you stop browsing, while persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device.
You can control and manage cookies in several ways. Please note 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 them through your browser controls, usually found in the "Tools" or "Preferences" menu. For more information on how to modify your browser settings or how to block, manage, or filter cookies, consult your browser's help file or visit sites such as www.allaboutcookies.org .
