What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device — computer, phone, or tablet — when you visit. They serve a range of practical purposes: some keep you logged in, some remember your preferences, and some help the website operator understand how visitors use the site.
Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot carry viruses. They are simply data files that your browser stores and sends back to the website on subsequent visits. You can view, manage, and delete them through your browser settings at any time.
Most websites use cookies of some kind. The key question is which cookies are used and for what purpose — which is what this page addresses.

Your Cookie Preferences
Use the toggles above to select which optional cookies you consent to. Your choices apply to this website only and are saved in your browser. You can update them at any time by returning to this page.
Preferences are stored locally in your browser using localStorage. They are not transmitted to our servers.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this website are placed by third-party services we use. These include Google Analytics for site usage analysis, and advertising measurement tools such as the Facebook Pixel and Bing UET. Each third-party provider operates under its own privacy and cookie policy, which we encourage you to review.
We do not have direct control over cookies set by third parties, but you can opt out of them through this page or through the relevant third-party opt-out mechanisms.
How Long Cookies Last
Cookies fall into two broad categories by lifespan:
Session cookies — these are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are used for things like maintaining the state of a page during a single visit.
Persistent cookies — these remain on your device for a set period after your visit. The duration varies: analytics cookies typically expire after 13 months; advertising and preference cookies may last from 30 days to 2 years depending on the provider.
Our cookie consent preference (stored under the key cookieConsent) is a persistent cookie that remains in your browser's localStorage until you clear it manually or update your preferences here.
