The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.  A web beacon, pixel or tag is a small, usually-transparent image placed on a web page that allows the operator of that image, which may be the operator of the website you visit or a third party, to read or write a cookie.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages of our Website are being used. This helps us analyze data about webpage traffic and improve our Website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better Website by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. Your operating system and web browser may allow you to erase information stored in cookies and local browser storage. But if you do so, you may be forced to login to the Website again, and you may lose some preferences or settings.  You may also be able to set your browser to refuse all website storage or to indicate when it is permitted, but some features of our Website may not function properly without it.  We may use cookies to keep you logged in, save your preferences for the Website, and to collect information about how you use our Website.
