Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences and actions, and help website owners understand how the site is being used. Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (stored until they expire or you delete them).

Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. This policy covers all such technologies used on our site.

2. Cookies We Use

We use a minimal set of cookies. The table below lists every cookie currently active on this site:

Cookie Categories

• Strictly Necessary: Required for the website to function. These cannot be disabled. We do not currently use any strictly necessary cookies beyond standard browser session handling.
• Functional: Remember your preferences (language, consent choice). These improve your experience but are not required for the site to work.
• Analytics: Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Collected via Google Analytics. These are only set after you consent (in jurisdictions where consent is required).

We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking cookies, or any third-party remarketing or behavioral advertising technologies.

3. Google Analytics in Detail

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors interact with our site. Google Analytics sets the cookies listed above and sends usage data to Google's servers, which may be located in the United States or other countries.

We have configured Google Analytics with the following privacy settings:

• IP anonymization enabled (last octet of IP address is masked before storage)
• Data retention set to 26 months
• Google Signals disabled (no cross-device tracking)
• Data sharing with Google products disabled

Google acts as a data processor under a Data Processing Agreement. Google's use of analytics data is governed by their Privacy Policy.

4. AI Chat Widget

Our website may include an AI-powered chat assistant. If enabled, the chat widget may use session storage or cookies to maintain conversation context within a single session. These are session-scoped and deleted when you close your browser. No persistent tracking cookies are set by the chat widget. See our AI Chat Terms for details on data handling.

5. How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences

Our Consent Banner

When you first visit our site, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept or decline analytics cookies. You can change your preference at any time by clicking the "Cookie Preferences" link in our site footer.

Browser Settings

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View and delete existing cookies
• Block all cookies or third-party cookies
• Be alerted when a cookie is set

How to manage cookies in major browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Note: Blocking all cookies may affect site functionality, including language preferences.

Google Analytics Opt-Out

You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites using Google's official browser add-on. This prevents the JavaScript running on websites from sharing data with Google Analytics.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. Our site does not currently respond to browser-level DNT signals, as there is no universally accepted standard for compliance. You can control analytics tracking via our consent banner or the Google Analytics opt-out tool described above.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this policy as we add new technologies or change our use of existing ones. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date. If we add new cookie categories (e.g., advertising cookies), we will update the consent banner accordingly.
