1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have seen a particular notice before. Cookies do not identify you personally unless you have provided identifying information to the site.
Most browsers accept cookies by default. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being placed, though some parts of the website may not function as intended if cookies are disabled.
2. Cookies We Use

- Session cookies — temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser, used for basic session continuity.

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website — which pages are visited, how long people stay, and where they arrive from. This data is aggregated and does not identify individuals. We use this information to improve the site and its content.

Third-party cookies are governed by the privacy policies of those providers. We recommend reviewing their policies directly if you have concerns about their data practices.
4. Cookie Duration
Cookies fall into two categories by duration:
- Session cookies — exist only for the duration of your browser session and are deleted when you close the browser.
- Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period (days, months, or years) or until you delete them manually. The retention period for each cookie type is noted in section 2 above.
