Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and furnish information to website owners. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the website you visit) or "third-party" (set by a domain other than the one you are visiting).

Cookies typically contain a unique identifier, the name of the website, and a string of numbers and characters. They allow websites to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions over time. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience on our website. Cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our site, remember your preferences, and improve our services. The specific purposes for which we use cookies are described in the sections below.

3. Cookie Categories

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and access to secure areas. You cannot opt out of these cookies, as the website would not function without them. Under the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive, strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent because they are indispensable for the service you have requested.

Examples include: session cookies that keep you logged in, cookies that remember items in your cart, and load-balancing cookies that distribute traffic across servers.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use this data to improve how our website works, identify popular content, and fix technical issues. The data collected is typically aggregated and anonymized, so it does not directly identify you. These cookies require your consent before they are placed on your device.

We may use analytics to track metrics such as page views, bounce rates, time on site, and referral sources. This information helps us make data-driven decisions to enhance user experience.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver relevant advertisements to you and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners. Marketing cookies can track your visits to our website and other sites to build a profile of your interests. These cookies require your explicit consent.

4. Cookie Duration

Cookies can be either "session" or "persistent":

• Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. They are used for purposes such as remembering your actions during a single browsing session.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (ranging from a few days to several years) or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences across multiple visits.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have control over cookies. You can manage your preferences in the following ways:

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services. These may include analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media platforms.
