Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how their site is being used.

Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until deleted or expired) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser). They can also be "first-party" (set by the website you're visiting) or "third-party" (set by other services used on the website).

We use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes:

2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for our 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. Without these cookies, certain services cannot be provided.

2.2 Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us improve our site and services. We use Vercel Analytics, which collects anonymized data about page views and user interactions.

2.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality, such as remembering your preferences and providing personalized features. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

2.4 Third-Party Cookies

Some pages on our website may contain content from third-party services (such as embedded videos or social media widgets) that may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies. Please refer to the privacy policies of these third-party services for more information.

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies:

• Local Storage: Used to store data locally in your browser for faster loading and offline functionality.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but cleared when you close your browser.
• Pixels/Web Beacons: Small images that help us understand how you interact with our content.

You have several options for managing cookies:

4.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually find these settings in the "Options" or "Preferences" menu of your browser. Here are links to manage cookies in popular browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

4.2 Opt-Out Tools

You can opt out of certain third-party cookies using the following tools:

• Network Advertising Initiative Opt-Out
• Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-Out
• European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. Currently, there is no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals, but we respect your privacy choices as described in this policy and our Privacy Policy.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our business practices. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to periodically review this policy to stay informed about our use of cookies.
