2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are tiny text files that are stored on and saved to your device whenever you visit a website (and which typically have a unique identifier) so that they can be used whenever you visit our website.
Some cookies are only created when certain features are used, whereas H&T may use other cookies that are constantly generated and used. H&T and other third-party service providers may also store permanent cookies, which are stored in the browsers of your access devices and are used whenever you return to the website (and provided the cookies are required for proper use of the website), and may use temporary session cookies that remain in the cookie file until you quit your browser.
You can learn more about the cookies we use from the list provided below. H&T updates the list periodically so it may not reflect all cookies used at any given time. We also use web beacons, tags and scripts on our website and in the emails we send to better understand the patterns of usage of our website.

Cookies thus allow our website to store information about your visit, such as language preferences, your location, session recurrence and other variables that we believe are important to make your browsing experience more comfortable and efficient.
