Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, understand how you use the site, and improve your browsing experience. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services embedded in the site (third-party cookies).

We use cookies to provide essential website functionality, analyze site usage, and deliver personalized advertising. Not all cookies require your consent — some are essential for the site to work properly.

Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize cookies into three types based on their purpose and consent requirements. You can manage your preferences for analytics and marketing cookies through the cookie consent banner or the preferences panel available in the footer.

Marketing Cookies — Detailed Disclosures

Our use of marketing and advertising cookies is subject to strict compliance with Google Ads policies and Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Ads policies. Below are the mandatory disclosures required by these platforms.

How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences

You have full control over which cookies are placed on your device. When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner will appear allowing you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences in detail.

Through Our Website

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Manage cookie preferences" link in the website footer. This will open a panel where you can toggle analytics and marketing cookies on or off. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the site to function.

Through Your Browser

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically find these options in the "Privacy" or "Security" section of your browser. Common browsers provide the following options:

• Block all cookies
• Block third-party cookies only
• Delete cookies after each browsing session
• View and delete individual cookies

Please note that blocking or deleting essential cookies may prevent certain features of the website from working properly.

Opt Out of Personalized Advertising

You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time through the following industry opt-out tools:

• Google Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com
• Your Online Choices (EU): https://www.youronlinechoices.eu
• Network Advertising Initiative: https://optout.networkadvertising.org
• Digital Advertising Alliance: https://optout.aboutads.info

Opting out does not remove ads entirely — you will continue to see non-personalized advertisements.

Google Analytics Opt-Out

Users may opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Meta Ad Preferences

To manage your ad preferences on Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram), visit: https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences/

Cookie Consent Requirements

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner will appear at the bottom-right corner of the screen. This banner offers three options:

• Accept All Cookies: activates essential, analytics, and marketing cookies
• Reject Non-Essential: activates only essential cookies; analytics and marketing cookies remain inactive
• Manage Preferences: opens a detailed panel where you can toggle each cookie category independently

The banner does not block access to the website. You can dismiss it without accepting, in which case only essential cookies will be active.

By clicking "Accept All Cookies", you consent to the storing of cookies on your device for analytics and advertising purposes, including personalized advertising delivered by Google and Meta. You may withdraw consent at any time through the cookie preferences panel without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.

GDPR Compliance for EEA and UK Users

Users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom receive this consent notice in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR. Marketing and analytics cookies are activated solely after explicit, informed, freely given consent under GDPR Article 6(1)(a). Consent is recorded with a timestamp and may be audited upon request.

You may withdraw consent at any time by clicking "Manage cookie preferences" in the website footer, or by clearing cookies via your browser settings. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred while consent was valid.

Data Sharing with Advertising Partners

We share certain data with advertising partners for campaign delivery and measurement. Recipients and the data categories shared include:

• Google LLC: cookie identifiers, conversion events, anonymized behavioral data, remarketing lists. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Meta Platforms, Inc.: pixel events, conversion data, custom audiences. Governed by Meta's Data Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy

We do not sell personal data. All transfers to Google and Meta operate under Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable. Data is processed for ad targeting and campaign measurement only — not resold to unaffiliated third parties.

Google and Meta may use this data across their own platforms in accordance with their respective policies. We encourage users to review those policies directly.

Retention Periods

Cookie retention periods vary by type and purpose:

• Essential cookies: session duration or up to 12 months for preference storage
• Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4): up to 14 months
• Marketing cookies (Google Ads): up to 540 days
• Cookie consent records: 3 years (audit requirement)

You can delete cookies at any time through your browser settings or by withdrawing consent through the cookie preferences panel.

International Data Transfers

Personal data collected through cookies may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the European Economic Area, including the United States, where Google LLC and Meta Platforms, Inc. are based.

These transfers are conducted under Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, which provide appropriate safeguards for personal data. A copy of the applicable SCCs can be requested by contacting us directly.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or other operational considerations. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

If we make material changes that affect your rights or how we use cookies, we will notify you via a prominent notice on our homepage at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
