Some cookies are required for you to be able to navigate our website, enjoy its services, and log into secure sections. These cookies are required for the website to function.

Functional cookies are also used to remember choices you've made or information you've provided, such as your username, language, or area. This enables us to personalize your online experience based on your preferences. Authentication cookies, for example, are session cookies (or persistent cookies if you consent to the "remember me" function) that allow users to authenticate themselves on subsequent visits or obtain access to permitted content across many sites. We utilize the following functional cookies:
User-centric security cookies are used to detect authentication abuses for a set amount of time, such as several failed login attempts. These cookies are set for the sole purpose of enhancing the service's security.
Multimedia content player session cookies (flash cookies) are used to store technical data needed to play back video or audio content for the duration of a session (e.g. image quality, network link speed, and buffering parameters).
Load balancing session cookies are used to identify the same server in the pool for the duration of the session, allowing the load balancer to redirect user requests properly.
Persistent cookies for user interface modification are used to save a user's preferences for a service across web pages.
