They serve to help us track traffic patterns to determine a user’s preferred location and language so that we can direct them to the correct country home page when they visit Our Site.

On certain pages of Our Site, cookies are used to help us track your interests while you browse the internet, so we can tailor more relevant advertising to you, and to understand what is important to you.

_cfduid	Cloudflare	The __cfduid cookie is used to identify individual clients behind a shared IP address and apply security settings on a per-client basis.
