Cookies are small text files placed on your device to help websites function efficiently and remember preferences. They do not contain personal information unless you choose to provide it.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential cookies — required for core site functions such as navigation, security, and form submission. These cannot be disabled through the banner.
Preference cookies — store your consent choices and display settings.
