1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit. They allow the website to recognize your device on subsequent visits, remember preferences, keep parts of the site working, and measure aggregate usage. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and web beacons — collectively referred to in this Policy as "cookies."
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary — required for the Site to function (page routing, form submissions, session persistence, security). These cannot be disabled without breaking basic functionality.
Performance & Analytics — measure aggregate visitor behavior (pages viewed, time on page, referring source) so we can improve the Site. These cookies do not identify you personally.
Preference — remember your choices (e.g., preferred region) between visits.
3. Cookies We Do NOT Use
We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, or cross-site tracking cookies. We do not sell personal information to advertisers or data brokers. Your data is not used to build advertising profiles.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Where analytics or embedded content (for example, an embedded video) are provided by a third-party service, that service may set its own cookies subject to its privacy policy. We select providers that respect visitor privacy and do not enable behavioral advertising on our Site.
5. Retention Periods
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them. We use the shortest reasonable lifespan for each cookie required for its purpose.
6. Your Choices — Managing Cookies
You can control cookies at the browser level. The methods below cover the most popular browsers; consult your browser's help documentation for exact steps.
Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies.
Disabling strictly necessary cookies will affect how the Site functions — for example, forms may not submit correctly.
7. Do Not Track (DNT)
Because no consistent industry standard for Do Not Track has been adopted, our Site currently does not respond to DNT signals. We treat all visitors the same, whether or not DNT is enabled.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
