Cookie Policy

Our website uses cookies and related technologies (for simplicity, all such technologies are referred to as “cookies”). Cookies may also be placed by third parties we partner with.

About Cookies

Cookies, also known as browser cookies or tracking cookies, are small text files—often encrypted—stored in your web browser. These cookies are used by our website developers to help you navigate the site more efficiently and to enable certain functions. Because cookies play a vital role in improving and enabling various features of the website, disabling them may limit access to some features on our site.

Types of Cookies

We use several types of cookies, which are described below.

Essential Cookies

Also known as Strictly Necessary Cookies, these cookies make our website usable by enabling basic functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the site. These cookies do not collect information for marketing purposes and do not track your internet activity. Our website cannot function properly without essential cookies, so there is no option to disable them (they are always active).

Functional Cookies

Also known as Preference Cookies, these cookies allow our website to remember information that changes how the site behaves or appears, such as your preferred language or location. You can disable these cookies at any time during your visit; however, please note that doing so will remove any preferences you have previously set.

Enabling / Disabling Cookies

When you first visit our website, our server will display a cookie banner that includes a tool to set your cookie preferences. The banner also contains a link to this policy. Except for essential cookies, all other categories (functional, performance, and marketing) can be enabled or disabled using this tool.

Managing Cookies via Browser Settings

In addition to using our on-site tool, you can also manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Please refer to your browser’s help section or official support documentation for instructions on how to do this.
