1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information on their own, but they can be linked to personal information you have provided.

Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage, which function in a comparable way and are subject to the same rules in this policy.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

  • Essential operation: to keep the site functioning correctly.
  • Preferences: to remember your cookie consent choices.
  • Analytics: to understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it (only with your consent).

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions you take such as setting your privacy preferences.
