About cookies

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that is stored in your web browser that allows us or a third party to recognize you using a unique identifier.

Who sets them?

First-party cookies are set by us. Third-party cookies are set by companies other than Perform such as analytics providers.

What do they do?

Essential cookies enable services we offer. Other cookies help us understand how our websites are being used (i.e. analytics). Some cookies may track you across multiple websites you visit (including ones not operated by Perform) to help deliver advertisements that may be relevant to you.
