Cookies

When you visit any Web site, it may place a small text file, known as a “cookie” on your computer. The cookie allows the Web site to “remember” specific information about your visit while you are connected or when you return to that site.

Cookies from PVT Web pages only collect information about your browser’s visit to the site; they do not collect personal information about you. You may occasionally encounter a Web page that automatically employs cookies to make it easier to use the dynamic features of these Web pages.

PVT may use either single session (temporary) or multi-session (persistent) cookies. Session cookies last only as long as your Web browser is open. Once you close your browser, the cookie disappears. Persistent cookies are stored on your computer for longer periods.
