1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device – computer, smartphone, or tablet – when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website operators about how their sites are being used.
Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install malware. They simply store small pieces of data that help the website function or help us understand how visitors interact with it.
Similar technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage, may also be used for comparable purposes. References to cookies in this policy include these technologies unless stated otherwise.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to operate. Without them, core functionality such as page navigation and security features would not work correctly. Essential cookies do not require your consent and cannot be disabled through our cookie settings.

Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. The data collected is aggregated and anonymous – it does not identify individual users. We use this information to improve the structure, content, and performance of the website.
We may use third-party analytics tools such as Google Analytics for this purpose. These tools set their own cookies and process data in accordance with their own privacy policies. Google Analytics data is anonymised before it reaches us.

- How users navigate through the website
- Whether users are returning or first-time visitors
- The general geographic region of visitors (country or city level only)
