1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide website owners with information about how the site is being used.
Cookies can be "session cookies", which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies", which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services used by that website.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies on this website for the following purposes:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function correctly. They do not collect information about you for marketing purposes and cannot be turned off. They are set in response to actions you take, such as submitting a form or navigating between pages.
Examples include cookies that manage session state, prevent cross-site request forgery, and enable the functionality of the contact form. These cookies are set on the legal basis of legitimate interests to operate a functional, secure website.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are most frequently visited and how visitors navigate between pages. This helps us understand how the website is performing and identify areas where it could be improved.
Analytics cookies are only set with your consent. The data collected is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors. If you use analytics services we implement (such as Google Analytics), those services have their own privacy policies governing the data they collect.
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience. For example, they may remember your cookie consent preferences so that you are not asked on every visit. These cookies are set with your consent where consent is required.
