What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files placed on your device when you visit websites. They store information about your visit, which can enhance your user experience. While we aim to make all cookies on this site as non-intrusive as possible, the decision to accept or decline cookies is ultimately yours.

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies:
   These cookies are essential for the operation of the website, enabling core functionality such as security and accessibility. Without these cookies, some parts of the site may not function properly.

2. Performance and Analytics Cookies:
   We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, to gather anonymous data about how visitors use this site. Google Analytics helps us track website performance by recording information such as the number of visitors, pages viewed, and the duration of visits. This helps us understand how to improve our website's content and functionality.
   If you prefer not to be tracked by Google Analytics, you can opt-out at any time by visiting Google Analytics Opt-Out.

3. Functionality Cookies:
   These cookies allow the website to remember your preferences and choices, providing a more personalized experience.

4. Targeting and Advertising Cookies:
   We use cookies from third-party services like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. These cookies may track your browsing habits to show you personalized ads or content. These cookies are typically set by the social media platforms when you interact with embedded content such as videos or sharing buttons. They do not identify you personally unless you are logged into their services.

Third-Party Cookies

We integrate various third-party services on our website, such as social media widgets and embedded content. These third-party services may use cookies to track users, particularly when you're logged into their platforms. The third parties we work with include:

• YouTube

• Facebook

• Twitter

While we do our best to monitor and understand the cookies used by these services, please note that we cannot control how these services use your data. These cookies are generally used for tracking anonymous browsing data and generating analytics, similar to Google Analytics. If you opt-out of Google Analytics, you will also be opting out of many of these third-party cookies.

Managing Cookies

If you do not wish to accept cookies, you can manage your preferences through your browser settings. Each browser offers different methods for blocking and deleting cookies. If you'd like to delete any cookies already stored on your device, you can usually do so through your browser settings (often accessible through Ctrl+Shift+Delete).
However, please be aware that disabling cookies may impact your experience on this website, and some features may not work properly.

What If You Don’t Want Any Cookies?

We understand that some users may prefer a cookie-free experience. While we strive to provide a better user experience through cookies, we unfortunately do not have the resources to offer a cookie-free version of the site. If you are opposed to cookies, you can either adjust your browser settings to block them or refrain from using the site. We will be sorry to see you go!
