What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the website owners.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
Improve website functionality: Cookies may be used to remember your preferences (such as language or region) and to improve your browsing experience.
Gather website analytics: We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors interact with our site so we can improve user experience and website performance.

We have not enabled Google Analytics advertising features, Google Signals, or remarketing, and we do not use this data for advertising or marketing. We do not sell or share your personal information for targeted advertising or other third-party marketing purposes. Google processes this data in accordance with its own privacy policy and “How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services”. Analytics data is retained for 14 months.
