This anonymous information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level to help us understand trends and patterns. None of this information is reviewed at an individual level. We do not associate the information stored in a visitor’s cookie with any other personal information about that visitor. If you do not want your transaction details used in this manner, you may disable cookies on your Internet web browser. Our Website includes a cookie banner to help you easily accept the cookies from us and our trusted third parties.
