Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to store data. They help websites remember your actions and preferences. Related technologies (like local storage, pixels, and tags) may also be used for similar purposes; we refer to all of these collectively as “cookies”.

How we use cookies

• Site operation: to deliver pages, keep you logged in (if applicable), and protect the site from abuse.
• Preferences: to remember your choices (e.g., cookie consent, viewing preferences).
• Performance & analytics: to understand which content is helpful and improve the site.
• Advertising (if enabled): to support displaying ads and to measure their performance.

Types of cookies we use

1) Strictly necessary

Required for the site to function (e.g., load balancing, security, consent memory). These cannot be switched off in our systems.

2) Functional / performance

Improve features and help us deliver a smoother experience (e.g., remembering settings, faster media delivery).

3) Analytics

Help us measure traffic and understand how visitors use our content. Data is aggregated whenever possible.

4) Advertising (if used)

Support serving and measuring ads. These may be set by us or by our advertising partners and can build a profile of your interests. You can manage consent for these cookies where available or via your browser settings.

Cookie lifetimes vary. Session cookies expire when you close your browser; persistent cookies typically last from a few days up to 13 months (or as required by local law).

Third-party cookies

Some cookies may be set by third parties that provide services to our site—for example hosting/CDN, security, performance, analytics, or advertising partners (if ads are displayed). These providers may process limited data about your visit in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Your choices

Site preferences

If a cookie banner or preferences tool is presented, you can use it to accept, decline, or adjust non-essential cookies at any time.

Browser controls

You can block or delete cookies using your browser settings. Instructions vary by browser, but generally you can:

• Clear browsing data (including cookies and site data).
• Block third-party cookies or all cookies (note: the site may not work as expected if all cookies are blocked).
• Set exceptions for specific sites you trust.

Device / platform settings

Some devices and platforms offer additional privacy settings, such as limiting ad tracking or resetting advertising IDs.

Do Not Track & Global Privacy Control

Where feasible, we respect browser signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC). Availability and behavior may vary by browser and region.

EEA/UK & California information

EEA/UK: We rely on your consent for non-essential cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time using the controls described above. Necessary cookies are always active because the site cannot function properly without them.

California (CPRA): You may have the right to opt out of “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising. Where applicable, use the cookie preferences controls or contact us. We do not sell personal information.

For more about how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy.

Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for legal reasons. When we make changes, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
