What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device — computer, tablet, or mobile — when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, and improve your overall experience.
Stored locally
Saved to your browser or device, not on our servers.
Time-limited
Session cookies expire when you close your browser; persistent cookies have a set lifespan.
Site-specific
First-party cookies are set by us; third-party cookies by external services we use.
Similar technologies, such as web beacons, pixel tags, local storage objects, and fingerprinting scripts, may also be used and are subject to this same policy.
