We periodically test new features and make subtle changes to the way the site is presented. When we are testing new features, these cookies may be used to ensure you receive a consistent experience while on the site, while helping us understand which optimizations our users appreciate most.

Several partners advertise on our behalf, and affiliate tracking cookies simply allow us to see if our customers arrived at the site through one of our partners’ sites. This enables us to credit them appropriately and, where applicable, allows our affiliate partners to offer any promotions that might encourage you to make a purchase.
