What are cookies?

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use, and how you can manage your cookie settings.

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when a website loads in your browser. They help ensure the website functions properly, enhance security, provide a better user experience, and allow us to analyze performance to identify areas of improvement.

How do we use cookies?

Like most websites, we use both first-party and third-party cookies:

First-party cookies: Essential for the website to work properly. These do not collect personally identifiable information.
Third-party cookies: Used for analytics, advertising (such as Google AdSense), security, and to understand how visitors interact with our site. These help us deliver relevant content and improve your browsing experience.

Types of cookies we use

Essential cookies: Required for core functionality, such as security and basic features. These also include cookies set by Cloudflare for bot protection, load balancing, and performance.
Performance cookies: Help us measure site performance and usage, including cookies set by Google Analytics.
Advertising cookies: Provided by partners like Google to deliver personalized ads based on your browsing activity.

How Consent Works on This Site

For visitors in the EU, UK, and Switzerland: Non-essential cookies — including advertising and performance cookies — are not set until you provide affirmative consent through our cookie consent banner. You can accept, reject, or customize cookie categories, including advertising personalization, when you visit. You may change your preference at any time by revisiting this banner. Cookies and ads for these visitors are managed through Google’s certified Consent Management Platform (CMP), in compliance with the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF).

Some of our advertising partners may process certain data on the basis of legitimate interest rather than consent, where permitted under applicable law — for example, for measuring ad performance or improving services. You can review and object to this processing at any time through the “Manage options” link in our consent banner, under each purpose listed there.

For visitors outside these regions: Essential cookies are used automatically to operate the site securely. By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge our use of cookies as described in this policy. Where required by applicable local law, we provide consent controls consistent with that law.
