Cookies are small text files that are stored 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 allow a website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language and other settings.
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage objects. For simplicity, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.
We use cookies for the following purposes:
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. | Session cookies, authentication tokens, CSRF protection | Required |
| Performance & Analytics | These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular. | Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _gat) | Optional |
| Functional | These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. | Language preferences, UI settings, Google Sign-In | Optional |

They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. | Meta Pixel (Facebook), Google Ads, Google AdSense, remarketing tags | Optional |
In addition to our own cookies, we permit certain third parties to place cookies on your device when you visit our site. These third parties and the purposes for which they use cookies are as follows:

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can usually find these in the "Options," "Tools," or "Preferences" menu of your browser. Here are links to cookie management instructions for common browsers:
For mobile devices, please refer to your device manufacturer's instructions on how to manage cookies. Note that if you block all cookies, some features of our Services may not work as intended.
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals because there is no industry-wide standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted. If a standard is established in the future, we will revisit this position.
California residents: California law requires us to disclose how we respond to DNT signals. As stated above, we currently do not respond to DNT signals.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to periodically review this page to stay informed about our use of cookies.
