Cookies & Similar Technologies

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to help websites function, improve performance, and deliver a better experience. We also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, and tags for comparable purposes.

2. What Technologies Do We Use?

• Essential: We do not set any HTTP cookies for authentication, sessions, or preferences. All user state and consent is managed via localStorage (e.g., for cookie consent and UI preferences).
• Performance & Analytics: We use Google Analytics only after you accept cookies via the consent banner. No analytics or tracking cookies are set until you give consent.
• Functional: We use localStorage to remember your preferences, such as consent, sidebar state, or dismissed banners. This is stored only on your device and not sent to our servers.
• Advertising: We use advertising cookies to support relevant promotions and measure campaign effectiveness. These cookies are only set after you provide consent via the cookie banner.

3. How We Use These Technologies

• Remember your consent choice for cookies and analytics (via localStorage).
• Enable analytics only after you accept via the cookie banner.
• Remember your UI preferences, such as sidebar state or dismissed banners (via localStorage).
• We do not use cookies for authentication, login, or session management.

4. Managing Your Preferences

You can adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Most browsers also offer controls to limit third-party cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies may impact site functionality.

You can also clear local storage and disable scripts or tracking protection via your browser or device settings. Features that rely on these technologies may not work as intended if disabled.

5. Third-Party Cookies

We use Google Analytics and may use other trusted analytics or advertising providers in the future. No third-party cookies are set until you accept cookies via the consent banner. These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies, and may combine data from your visits to provide aggregated insights or measure campaign reach. You can always reject non-essential cookies to prevent these from being set.

6. Data Retention

We store your consent and UI preferences in localStorage on your device. You can clear this data at any time via your browser settings. If you accept analytics cookies, third-party providers may set their own cookies with their own retention policies. We review our use of cookies and similar technologies periodically to ensure they remain necessary and proportionate.

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no consistent industry standard for responding to these signals, we currently do not change our practices when we receive one.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
