1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site owners. Some cookies are essential for the website to function, while others help us understand how you use the site so we can improve your experience.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as localStorage (browser-based storage) for similar purposes.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2.1 Essential / Technical Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They do not require your consent.

2.3 Analytics Cookies (consent required)

3. How to Manage Your Consent
When you first visit our website, a cookie banner asks for your preference:
- Accept All: Enables both essential and analytics cookies.
- Essential Only: Only essential cookies are used. Analytics tracking is disabled.
You can change your cookie preference at any time by clicking the 'Cookie Preferences' link in the website footer. This will reset your choice and display the consent banner again, allowing you to update your preferences.
4. How to Block Cookies via Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View which cookies are stored
- Delete individual or all cookies
- Block cookies from specific or all sites
- Set preferences for first-party vs. third-party cookies
Please note that blocking essential cookies may prevent the website from functioning correctly (e.g., you may not be able to stay logged in).
