What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data that a website stores on your device (computer, mobile phone, tablet) when you visit our site or interact with certain features online. These tiny files help us tailor the experience for each user and improve how we communicate with them.

Why Do We Use Cookies?

We employ cookies to remember who is logged in, ensure security features work correctly, and provide a more personalized browsing experience based on your preferences. Some of these preferences can include language settings or selected options from drop-down menus, which allow us to recall these choices the next time you visit our site.

Essential Cookies

Some cookies are necessary for the functionality of our website. These include:

• Authentication cookies: help maintain login sessions and ensure users remain signed in when moving between pages.
• Security tokens: protect sensitive information such as passwords by preventing unauthorized access to accounts.

Session Cookies vs Persistent Cookies

• Session Cookies:

  • Are temporary and only exist for the duration of your visit to our website.
  • Delete themselves automatically once you close your browser or log out.

• Persistent Cookies:

  • Remain active even after closing your web browser and can be stored on your computer's hard drive for a set period (usually several hours, days, or weeks).
  • Some cookies use this form to provide convenience by remembering preferences that remain in effect between visits.

Functional Cookies

These are used to enhance user interaction with our website:

• Analytics: help us understand how visitors navigate and what functions they find most useful. This enables us to prioritize improvements based on actual usage patterns.
• Performance optimization tools aim at decreasing loading times by ensuring browsers cache data that doesn’t change frequently, making the online experience faster for all users.

Preference Settings

We use cookies to store your preference settings such as:

• Language choice: Ensure text and interface elements are presented in a familiar language based on user selection.

Some functionalities require or enable interaction with third-party services (e.g., social media buttons). By accessing these external tools, you acknowledge the terms of their respective policies.

Managing Cookies

All modern web browsers allow users to control cookies at various levels. Depending on your browser settings:

• Some websites can't provide optimal performance without cookies being enabled.
• Browsers often come with integrated features to automatically erase cache and stored data after each session or periodic clearing actions.

If you prefer not using cookies, most of our site will still function but some advanced features might be affected.
