Cookie Policy & Preferences

Cookies are small data files that are placed on a device when a website is visited. They are widely used to support the proper functioning of websites and to gather information about how visitors interact with online content. When you access our website, certain information may be collected automatically through cookies or similar technologies. This information typically relates to how you browse, the type of device or browser you use, and general usage patterns, rather than details that directly identify you as an individual.

These technologies play an important role in delivering a smooth and reliable browsing experience. Some cookies are necessary for core site operations, such as enabling pages to load correctly, maintaining security features, and remembering choices you have made, like items in a shopping cart or selected preferences. Without these essential cookies, certain parts of the website may not work as intended or may become unavailable.

Other cookies are used to understand how visitors engage with the site. They collect combined, statistical information about which pages are viewed most often, how users move through different sections, and whether any errors are encountered. This type of data helps us evaluate performance and make improvements to navigation, design, and content. Because the information is aggregated and anonymized, it is used to identify overall trends rather than track specific individuals.

Cookies can also support enhanced functionality and personalization. For example, they may remember language settings, regional preferences, or other choices you have made during previous visits. This allows the website to offer a more tailored and convenient experience each time you return. If these cookies are disabled, some customized features may not be available, and you may need to re-enter certain preferences.

In addition, some cookies are associated with marketing, advertising, and social media features. These may be placed by third-party partners to help display content that is more relevant to your interests or to enable sharing through social platforms. These cookies usually recognize a browser or device rather than storing personally identifiable information. Limiting or blocking them may result in less relevant advertising and reduced functionality for certain interactive features.

You have the ability to control how cookies are handled through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to accept, reject, or delete cookies, as well as to choose which types of cookies you wish to allow. Adjusting these settings gives you greater control over your privacy. However, restricting cookies may affect how the website functions and could prevent some features from operating properly. Removing existing cookies may also impact your experience, particularly on pages that rely on saved preferences.

Certain areas of the website may contain content or services provided by third parties, such as embedded media or advertisements. These external providers may use their own cookies or tracking technologies to collect information about your activity across multiple websites. Their use of such technologies is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies, and we do not have control over their data practices.

Overall, cookies support essential site functionality, help improve performance, enable personalization, and assist in delivering relevant content. While you are free to manage or limit cookie usage according to your preferences, doing so may influence your browsing experience and the availability of certain features on the website.
