M. Cookies

Our website uses cookies. A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session": a persistent cookie is stored by the browser and remains valid until its expiration date, unless deleted by the user before that expiration date; whereas a session cookie expires at the end of the user session, when the browser is closed. Cookies generally do not contain any information that personally identifies a user, but the personal information we store about you may be linked to the information stored in the cookies and obtained through the cookies. We use a WIX platform that has its own cookie policy.
