1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website.
They help websites operate efficiently, improve performance, and provide a customized user experience.
Cookies can be categorized by duration and by source:
- Session cookies — temporary, deleted automatically once you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies — remain on your device until manually deleted or until they expire.
- First-party cookies — placed directly by our Website.
- Third-party cookies — set by other domains or services (e.g., analytics providers, social media platforms, or embedded video tools).
In addition to cookies, we may also use pixels, tags, scripts, and local storage technologies that perform similar tracking functions.

6. Legal Basis for Cookie Use (GDPR and ePrivacy Directive)
For users in the European Union or United Kingdom:

- We activate non-essential cookies (analytics, marketing, personalization) only with your explicit consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).
You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting the legality of prior processing.
For U.S. visitors, our practices align with CCPA and CPRA, allowing you to opt out of cookie-based tracking where applicable.

Cookie data is retained only as long as required for its intended purpose.
- Session cookies expire when you close your browser.

Analytics data collected through cookies is typically aggregated and anonymized after retention.
8. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers allow users to send “Do Not Track” (DNT) requests.
Our Website currently does not respond to DNT signals due to lack of standardized interpretation, but you can manually control tracking through your cookie preferences and browser settings.

- Changes in technology or applicable legislation
- Updates in the cookies or analytics tools we use
