Cookies are small text files that are stored through the browser on your computer or mobile device (e.g. Google Chrome or Safari).

Think of Cookies as a form of website memory, allowing the site to recognize you upon your return and respond accordingly. Cookies are generally categorized into "session cookies", which are automatically erased when you close your browser, and "persistent cookies," which typically stay on your device until you delete them or they expire.

We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies.

5. "Do Not Track" Signals

Some web browsers might send "Do Not Track" signals to websites they interact with, instructing the sites not to track their online activities. Due to variations in how different web browsers interpret and transmit these signals, coupled with the absence of standardization, it's not always clear if visitors and users are intentionally conveying signals, or if they are even aware of them. Consequently, similar to numerous other reputable websites and online platforms, we currently do not respond to such "Do Not Track" signals.

6. Useful Links
