1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text fragments sent to your web browser by a website you visit. They help the website remember information about your visit, such as your display preferences and session tokens. In addition to cookies, modern web platforms utilize HTML5 localStorage to store client-side preferences without sending excessive header data on every HTTP request.
2. How We Use Cookies
We strictly limit our use of tracking technologies. We do not deploy third-party advertising cookies, behavioral re-targeting pixels, or cross-site fingerprinting scripts. The technologies we employ fall into three distinct operational categories:

4. Managing and Disabling Cookies via Browser Settings
You have the absolute right to accept, reject, or remove cookies at any time. While our built-in cookie banner lets you register your preference directly, you can also manage or block cookies through your individual browser settings:
- Google Chrome: Navigate to Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies and choose your preferred blocking level.
- Mozilla Firefox: Navigate to Settings > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection and select "Strict" or customize cookie permissions.
- Apple Safari: Navigate to Preferences > Privacy and ensure "Prevent cross-site tracking" and "Block all cookies" are configured to your liking.
- Microsoft Edge: Navigate to Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data.
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies or clearing local storage will reset your consent preferences and may impair basic form functionality on our site.
