Use of Cookies

Maxim Tech web pages use two types of “cookies” session-based and persistent. The majority of cookies used are session-based.

When you close your browser, the cookie is destroyed and no trace of it remains on your hard drive. These session cookies are used solely as a method to improve the user experience for those visiting the site. In very few cases, the Maxim Tech web site uses persistent cookies to store information for a longer period.
