This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail on how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website operators to make their websites function efficiently, to improve the user experience, and to provide reporting and analytics information.
Cookies set by the website operator are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as analytics, interactive content, and usage tracking.
3. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes, including to ensure the website functions correctly and securely, to understand how visitors interact with our website so we can improve it, to remember your preferences and settings during and between visits, to analyze website traffic and usage patterns, and to measure the effectiveness of our website content and layout.
We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or behavioral profiling purposes. This website does not serve advertisements, and we do not use cookies to track you across other websites.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take that amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in our contact form. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website may not work properly.
These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website may not function as intended if you do so.
Essential cookies we may use include session management cookies that maintain your browsing session as you navigate between pages, security cookies that help protect against fraudulent activity and unauthorized access, and cookie consent cookies that remember your cookie preferences so you are not asked to set them repeatedly.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and how visitors navigate through the site.
All information these cookies collect is aggregated and anonymized. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our website and will not be able to monitor its performance.
We may use the following third-party analytics services:
Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how visitors use our website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your truncated IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. We have enabled IP anonymization so that your full IP address is never stored. For more information on Google Analytics and its privacy practices, visit https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Functional Cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have integrated into our pages.
Functional cookies we may use include preference cookies that remember your settings such as language, region, or display preferences, and form cookies that remember information you have entered into our contact form so you do not have to re-enter it if you return to the form during the same session.
If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.
5. Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use the following similar technologies:
Web Beacons (Pixel Tags). Small transparent image files embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track page views and email open rates. Web beacons are used in conjunction with cookies to understand how visitors interact with our content.
Local Storage. Some features of our website may use your browser’s local storage capability to store small amounts of data on your device. Local storage functions similarly to cookies but can store larger amounts of data. You can clear local storage through your browser settings.
Log Files. Our web servers automatically record certain information each time a request is made to our website. These server logs may include your IP address, browser type, referring page, pages visited, date and time of visit, and other standard log information. This information is used for website administration, troubleshooting, and aggregate analytics.
6. Cookie Duration
Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time depending on their type.
Session Cookies are temporary cookies that are created when you open your browser and visit our website. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser. We use session cookies for essential website functionality such as maintaining your browsing session.
Persistent Cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, until they reach their expiration date or you delete them manually. We use persistent cookies for analytics and to remember your preferences between visits. The duration of our persistent cookies varies but does not exceed 26 months.
7. How to Manage Cookies
You have several options for managing cookies on your device.
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these controls in your browser’s “Settings,” “Preferences,” or “Privacy” menu. Common options include viewing which cookies are stored on your device, deleting cookies individually or in bulk, blocking all cookies or only third-party cookies, and setting your browser to notify you when a cookie is being placed.
Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:
Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Other Site Data Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and Site Permissions > Manage and Delete Cookies
For other browsers, please consult the browser’s help documentation or visit www.allaboutcookies.org for general guidance.
Google Analytics Opt-Out
To prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits to our website, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This add-on instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript running on websites not to send visit information to Google Analytics.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites you visit indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. At this time, our website does not respond to DNT signals, but we do not engage in cross-site tracking or advertising-based tracking of any kind.
Impact of Disabling Cookies
Please be aware that disabling or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of our website. Essential cookies are necessary for the website to operate correctly, and blocking them may prevent certain features from working. If you choose to disable cookies, you can still browse our website, but your experience may be limited.
8. Cookies Set by Third Parties
When you visit our website, third-party services that we have integrated may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control the cookies placed by these third parties, and their use is governed by the respective third party’s own cookie and privacy policies.
Third-party cookies that may be present on our website include Google Analytics cookies as described in Section 4, and embedded content cookies that may be set if our website embeds content from external platforms such as Google Maps or social media platforms. These embeds may place cookies on your device when you view the page containing the embedded content, even if you do not interact with the embedded content.
We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services that may set cookies through our website.
