A cookie is a small text file that a website sends to a visitor’s browser and that sends back information each time the visitor makes a request from the website. A cookie contains a unique identification number that identifies the visitor’s browser, but not necessarily the visitor.

We use both first-party and third-party cookies on our website.
First-party cookies are cookies issued from the Virtual Mobile domain that are generally used to identify language and location preferences or render basic site functionality.

Session cookies are temporary cookies that are used to remember the user during the course of the user’s visit to the website, and they expire when the user closes the web browser.
Persistent cookies are used to remember the user’s preferences within the website and remain on the user’s desktop or mobile device even after the user closes the browser or restarts the computer. Analytic tools may use these cookies to analyze user behavior to establish visit patterns so that website functionality for the user and others who visit the website can be improved.
For some of the functions within our website, we use third-party suppliers, for example, when the user visits a page with videos embedded or links to YouTube. These videos or links (and any other content from third-party suppliers) may contain third-party cookies, and we encourage users to consult the privacy policies of those third-party vendors on their websites for information regarding their use of cookies.
