What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to the site owners. Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

- Functional Cookies: These allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as your cookie consent preference or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.
- Advertising & Targeting Cookies: We do not currently use advertising or targeting cookies on our Site. If this changes, we will update this policy and provide you with notice and choice.
