What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners.

Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until deleted or expired) or "session" (deleted when you close your browser).

Cookie Banner

In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to save your cookie consent preferences. Local storage functions similarly to cookies but is not automatically sent to our servers with every request. The data stored includes:

  • Your cookie acceptance or rejection choice
  • Timestamp of when you made the choice

You can clear local storage data through your browser's developer tools or by clearing your browsing data.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universal standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted. We respect browser DNT signals and will not track users who have enabled this feature.

If you choose to reject non-essential cookies:

  • The website will still function, but some features may be limited
  • We will not be able to analyze how you use the website to improve it
  • Your preferences may not be remembered across sessions
  • Essential cookies will still be used to ensure basic functionality
