What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They enable the site to recognize your device and retain certain information about your preferences or previous actions, according to ico.org.uk. We also employ similar technologies, such as tracking pixels, local storage, and scripts, which we collectively refer to as “cookies.” These technologies help us collect or store data on your device. Some cookies originate from our website (first-party cookies), while others are established by external services (third-party cookies) when you navigate our site. Generally, cookies are used to ensure our site operates efficiently, remember your preferences, analyze site usage, and support our advertising and marketing efforts.

You are free to decline, and we will not treat that negatively or restrict access. We do not base any non-essential cookies that track personal data for analytics or advertising on “legitimate interests” – consent is required for those. You can withdraw consent as easily as you provided it.
