Cookie Policy
What cookies we use, why we use them, and how to control them.
Last updated: June 17, 2026What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your browser or device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide website owners with analytics information. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device.
We also use similar technologies such as web beacons (invisible images embedded in web pages or emails), pixels, and local storage. This policy covers all of these technologies collectively referred to as "cookies".

Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website are set by third parties (such as Google). We do not control these cookies. Please refer to the relevant third-party privacy policies for more information.
Do Not Track
Some browsers include a Do Not Track (DNT) feature. Because there is no industry-wide standard for responding to DNT signals, we currently do not alter our data collection practices in response to DNT signals. However, you can manage your preferences through our cookie consent tool above.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our use of cookies changes or applicable law requires. We will post any changes on this page with an updated date. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
