Cookie Policy

Last updated: January 15, 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit it. They allow the website to store information about your browsing session, such as your preferences, language selection, items in a form, and pages you have visited. Cookies are widely used across the internet to make websites function efficiently and to provide reporting and analytics information to website owners.

Cookies are not programs and cannot run executable code, transmit viruses, or access the personal files stored on your device. They simply store a small amount of text that can be read by the website that set them. Each cookie is associated with a specific domain, and only the domain that created the cookie can read its contents.

Cookies can be categorized by their duration (session cookies that expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies that remain until they expire or you delete them) and by their source (first-party cookies set by the website you are visiting, or third-party cookies set by a different domain, such as an analytics or advertising provider).
