What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website. They help a site remember information such as your preferences, session state, and certain usage patterns. Similar technologies include tracking pixels and local storage. Some cookies are set by us (first party cookies), and others are set by partners who provide analytics or advertising services (third party cookies).
Why we use cookies
We use cookies to keep the website secure and functional, to understand how visitors use our pages (so we can improve navigation and content quality), and to support advertising measurement and remarketing when you choose to allow marketing cookies. You can reject non-essential cookies and still use the website.
Cookie categories
We group cookies into three categories. Essential cookies are always active because they are required for core functionality. Analytics and marketing cookies are optional and are activated only after you provide consent through our cookie banner or the preferences panel.
1) Essential cookies
Purpose: core site functionality, security, and session management. Examples include: session_id, csrf_token, cookie_consent_status. Consent required: no. Retention: session duration or up to 12 months for preference storage.
2) Analytics cookies
Purpose: measuring traffic, user behavior, and site performance. Tools: Google Analytics 4. Examples include: _ga, _ga_XXXXXXX, _gid, _gat. Consent required: yes. Activated only after you accept analytics cookies. Retention: up to 14 months.
3) Marketing and advertising cookies
Purpose: remarketing, personalized ad delivery, and conversion tracking. Consent required: yes. Activated only after you accept marketing cookies. Retention: up to 540 days.
Managing your preferences
You can change your cookie choices at any time by opening the cookie preferences panel. If you reject non-essential cookies, the site will only store essential cookies needed for security and saving your consent choice. If you later accept analytics or marketing cookies, those categories may start collecting data from that point onward.
Analytics and advertising disclosure
When enabled, analytics cookies help us understand aggregated usage patterns, such as which pages are visited and how visitors move through the site. When enabled, marketing cookies and related tags can help us measure which advertisements lead to actions on our website and can support remarketing, where ads may be shown to previous visitors on other platforms.
Your preference choice is stored in your browser storage for up to 12 months. You can also clear cookies in your browser settings, which may remove saved preferences and cause the consent banner to appear again.
