MidAtlantic Cookie Policy
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. Cookies help websites know if the browsing device has visited them before. They are used to remember you and your preferences. For example, cookies help websites remember your geographic reason or whether you prefer a certain color to be shown on a website.
You may see a “cookie banner” on our website and dashboards. When you consent in this manner, we and our advertising partners may set advertising cookies on the website you are visiting and on our other website and services, which we use to show you advertisements about our various platforms. We’ll display the banner to you periodically, just in case you change your mind to change the preferences.
WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES DOES MIDATLANTIC USE
The type of cookies used on most websites can generally be put into one of six categories: Strictly Necessary, Performance, Functionality, Flash, Tailored Content and Targeting. In order to provide you with the best browsing experience, MidAtlantic uses all of these categories on the Website. You can find out more about each cookie category below.
- STRICTLY NECESSARY COOKIES

2. PERFORMANCE COOKIES
These cookies collect information about how you use the Website, for example which pages you go to most often and if you get error messages from certain pages.

3. FUNCTIONALITY COOKIES

5. TAILORED CONTENT COOKIES
Tailored content cookies help the Website provide enhanced features and display content in a way that is relevant to you.
