What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us provide you with a better experience by remembering your preferences and understanding how you use our site.

How We Use Cookies

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for our website to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation, access to secure areas, and form submissions. Our website cannot function properly without these cookies.

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us improve our content and user experience. These cookies collect information anonymously and report website trends. Analytics cookies are only activated after you accept our cookie consent banner.

Your Choice: We use Google Consent Mode v2 which means analytics tracking is disabled by default. You can choose to accept or decline analytics cookies through our cookie consent banner when you first visit our site.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences and settings. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use on our pages.

Third-Party Cookies

We may use third-party services that set cookies on our website, including:

  • • Google Analytics for website analytics
  • • Social media platforms for content sharing
  • • Customer support tools for chat functionality
  • • Marketing platforms for campaign tracking

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can choose to accept or decline cookies, delete existing cookies, or set your browser to notify you when cookies are being sent.

Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our website, you'll see a cookie consent banner asking for your permission to use analytics cookies. You have two options:

  • Accept All Cookies: Enables analytics to help us improve our site
  • Decline: Only essential cookies are used (banner will reappear on next visit)

Your choice is stored locally and respected across all pages. If you decline, the banner will show again on your next visit, giving you another opportunity to accept if you change your mind.

Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you can disable cookies, doing so may affect your experience on our website. Some features may not work properly, and we may not be able to provide personalized content or remember your preferences.

Cookie Retention

Different cookies have different retention periods:

  • Cookie Consent: Stored permanently in browser localStorage when you accept
  • Session cookies: Deleted when you close your browser
  • Google Analytics cookies: Expire after 2 years
  • Functional cookies: May persist for up to 1 year

To reset your cookie preferences, you can clear your browser's localStorage or cookies. The consent banner will appear again on your next visit.
