Most such cookies are "session" cookies that are only used for a specific period during which you are using the Services in order to maintain the session, but a few are "persistent" cookies that stay on your hard drive and are read by the web server when you return. The portion of the Site that hosts the Services uses cookies to store your preferences and other information on your computer in order to recognize the computer through which you accessed the Site for security purposes and to save you time by eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information and to display your personalized content on your later visits. These cookies are linked to Personal Information about you, such as your email address. Cookies cannot and will not be used to deliver or run programs on your computer. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. However, if you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to sign in (or you may need to take additional steps to sign in) or you may not be able to use other interactive features of the Services that depend on cookies.

We may lawfully share such Personal Information as described in (a), (b), (c) and (d) without offering an opt-out, and we may do so.
