1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to help websites function, remember user preferences, enhance user experience, and gather analytics information.
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services used on that website (third-party cookies).
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on our website to support functionality, improve performance, and personalize your experience:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic features such as page navigation, security, and form submission. The site cannot function correctly without them, and they do not require user consent.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies collect anonymized information about how visitors use our website, such as pages visited and links clicked. We use this data to improve site performance and content relevance. For example, we use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled.
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies remember your settings and preferences (e.g., dismissing banners, theme choices) to provide a more personalized and consistent experience across visits.
Marketing and Third-Party Cookies
We do not currently use cookies for behavioral advertising or remarketing. However, certain third-party features (like embedded maps or videos) may place their own cookies if you interact with them. These are subject to the privacy policies of the respective providers.
3. How We Use Cookies
Cookies on our website are used to support essential functions, understand visitor behavior, and improve the overall experience. Here are some specific ways we use cookies:
- Session management: Cookies help keep your form inputs and preferences stable across pages during a single visit.
- Form submission: When you contact us, cookies may help preserve your input in case you navigate away and return shortly after.
- Website performance tracking: We use anonymized Google Analytics cookies to understand which pages are most useful and where users may encounter friction.
- User preferences: If you dismiss a cookie banner or make a settings choice, a cookie may remember that decision for a limited time.
We do not use cookies for behavioral advertising, profiling, or location tracking. Any third-party elements used on the site are selected with privacy-first considerations and minimal impact on personal data.

5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time in response to changes in legal requirements, technology, or how we operate our services. When updates are made, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the bottom of this page.
If we make significant changes to how we use cookies or obtain user consent, we will provide additional notice — such as displaying a banner on the website or prompting a new consent choice where legally required.
We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and protect your privacy.
