Cookie Policy
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored by a browser. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, tags, software development kits, and device or advertising identifiers. This policy uses “cookies” as a convenient term for these technologies.
Cookie categories
- Strictly necessary: security, fraud prevention, network management, consent records, and core website operation.
- Preferences: remembering interface, display, or language choices where those features are enabled.
- Analytics and performance: understanding visits, navigation, errors, loading performance, and which content is useful.
- Advertising: delivering and measuring ads, limiting repetition, detecting invalid traffic, and personalizing ads where permitted and consented to.
- Third-party features: embedded media, social features, or external tools may set cookies under their own policies.
Session and persistent cookies
Session cookies normally expire when the browser closes. Persistent cookies remain until their stated expiry or until they are deleted. Duration depends on the purpose and provider.
Google advertising
If Google advertising is enabled, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a visitor's prior visits to this or other websites. Google's advertising cookies enable Google and its partners to serve and measure ads. Visitors can manage personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings and can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Consent choices
Where law requires consent, a consent-management interface should allow visitors to accept, reject, or manage non-essential cookie categories before those technologies are used. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred before withdrawal.
Browser and device controls
Most browsers allow cookies to be viewed, blocked, or deleted. Device and operating-system controls may also limit advertising identifiers. Blocking strictly necessary storage can prevent parts of the site from functioning correctly.
Third-party responsibility
Third-party providers control their own technologies, retention, and data practices. Their privacy and cookie notices provide the most current details.
