1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — for example, your preferences or whether you have already acknowledged a notice.
Cookies do not contain personal information by themselves, and they cannot install software or access files on your device. They are widely used across the internet to make websites function more efficiently and to gather basic usage information.
Some cookies are essential for a website to work at all; others are optional and can be declined without affecting core functionality.
2. Cookies We Use

These cookies are necessary for the website to operate. They handle basic functions such as page navigation, form session state, and remembering your cookie consent choice. Without them, the site cannot function as intended.

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our site — which pages are most viewed, how long people stay, and where they came from. This information is used in aggregate form to improve the site over time.

Marketing Cookies
These cookies track your activity across sites to help display advertising that is relevant to your interests. We use these sparingly and only with third-party partners who maintain appropriate data standards.

Preference Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make when using our site, such as your region or language preference, so you do not need to re-enter them on subsequent visits.
