What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how their site is being used.
Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by a different domain). They can also be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain on your device for a set period).

We do not use cookies for advertising, marketing, or tracking across other websites.

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functionality of our website. They enable core features such as page navigation, security, and remembering your cookie preferences. These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled.
