2. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to give website operators information about how the site is being used.

2.1 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Session Cookies — These are temporary cookies that are stored in your browser's memory only during your browsing session. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Session cookies help the Website remember your actions during a single visit.
Persistent Cookies — These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. Persistent cookies help the Website remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

Functional cookies allow the Website to remember choices you have made and provide enhanced, personalized features. While not strictly necessary, these cookies significantly improve your experience.

Functional cookies are used for:

Remembering your language, region, and display preferences.
Maintaining your login status across visits so you do not need to log in every time.
Storing form data to reduce the need to re-enter information.
Enhancing user interface elements based on your previous interactions.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use Google Analytics to gather this data.

Analytics cookies are used for:

Tracking which pages are visited and how long visitors spend on each page.
Measuring bounce rates, referral sources, and user navigation patterns.
Understanding audience demographics and geographic distribution.
Identifying trends and areas for improvement in the Website's design and content.

Data collected through analytics cookies is anonymized where possible and is used solely for internal analysis and service improvement.

3.4 Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites and to display relevant content and advertisements. Our current use of marketing cookies is minimal.

Marketing cookies may be used for:

Tracking email campaign engagement through Mailchimp, including whether you opened an email or clicked a link.
Delivering relevant content based on your interests and past interactions with the Website.
Supporting potential future advertising campaigns, if applicable.

If we expand our use of marketing cookies in the future, we will update this policy and provide you with clear consent options.

6. How to Opt Out

In addition to managing cookies through the consent banner and browser settings, you can opt out of specific tracking technologies:

Google Analytics Opt-Out — You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers transmit “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals to the websites you visit. The Website currently does not respond to DNT signals, as there is no industry-standard protocol for how websites should handle DNT requests. If a universal standard for DNT is established in the future, we will review and update our practices accordingly.

8. Changes to This Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, the third-party services we integrate with, or applicable legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the “Effective Date” at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the Website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Cookies Policy.

For information about how we collect and use your personal data more broadly, please review our Privacy Policy.
