Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better browsing experience, and to give website owners information about how their site is being used.
Some cookies are set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies), while others are set by third-party services that appear on the page (third-party cookies). Cookies can be “session” cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain on your device for a set period of time.
2. Cookies We Use
We use the following types of cookies on our website:
a) Strictly Necessary
These are essential for the website to function correctly. They do not collect personal data and cannot be disabled.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
cookie-consent | localStorage | Stores your cookie consent preference (“accepted” or “rejected”) so that the consent banner is not shown repeatedly. | Persistent until you clear your browser data |
b) Analytics Cookies
These cookies are set by Google Analytics and help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They are only placed on your device if you click “Accept” on our cookie consent banner.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated number as a client identifier. Used to calculate visitor, session, and campaign data for analytics reports. | 2 years |
_ga_* | Google Analytics | Used by Google Analytics 4 to persist session state. The asterisk (*) represents a unique identifier for the Google Analytics property. | 2 years |
_gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique users. Used to store and count page views. | 24 hours |
3. How to Manage Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in the following ways:
a) Our cookie consent banner:
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner at the bottom of the page. You can choose to “Accept” or “Reject” analytics cookies. If you reject, only strictly necessary cookies (your consent preference) will be stored, and no Google Analytics tracking will occur.
To change your preference after your initial choice, clear your browser's localStorage for this site, and the consent banner will appear again on your next visit.
b) Browser settings:
Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically find these options in your browser's “Settings,” “Preferences,” or “Privacy” menu. You can:
- View which cookies are stored on your device
- Delete individual or all cookies
- Block cookies from specific or all websites
- Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set
Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of some websites.
c) Google Analytics opt-out:
You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
4. Third-Party Cookies
The only third-party cookies used on our website are those set by Google Analytics, as described in Section 2 above. These cookies are governed by Google's privacy practices.
For more information about how Google uses data from sites that use its services, please visit How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps.
We do not use any advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or other third-party tracking technologies.
