What cookie types do we use?
The following describes the types of cookies that we may use and what they are used for:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to accessing the website and do things like set your privacy preferences, perform security protections, or support submitting forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but then some parts of the site will not work. - Website Performance Measurement Cookies
These cookies help us measure and improve the performance of our site. They allow us to count visits, understand which pages are most popular, and identify issues such as broken links or errors. These cookies are optional, but disabling them limits our ability to monitor site performance and improve user experience. - Functionality Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization. For example, they allow the website to remember your preferences —such as language settings—or information that you previously entered on the site. They also support services you request, including conversations with our AI chatbot. These cookies may be set by us or by third‑party providers whose tools we use. If you disable these cookies, some features of the site may not function properly. - Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be set by us or by our advertising partners to help measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. They allow us to understand whether an ad led to a visit or action on our site and may enable third parties to combine data collected on other sites. These may function by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
