What are cookies?

Cookies are unique identifiers, usually made up of small bits of text or code. Cookies are usually stored on your device or in your web browser and they send certain information back to the party who served the cookie. When we say cookies, we are referring to a broader range of technologies than just cookies, including web beacons, tags, clear gifs, pixels and other similar technologies.

When we say first-party cookies, we mean cookies that are served by the MLA Group.

When we say third-party cookies, we mean cookies that are served by non-MLA Group parties.

What kinds of cookies are used on the Website?

Our website primarily uses the following four types of cookies:

• Performance Cookies

These cookies gather information about how visitors use the Website and monitor Website performance.

How are cookies used?
