1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies help websites work, operate more efficiently, and provide information to website owners. Cookies may be first-party (set by us) or third-party (set by other companies whose tools we use).

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as:

Site operation & security: keep the site working, prevent abuse, and protect reliability.
Preferences: remember settings (where applicable).
Analytics: understand usage patterns and improve performance.
Advertising measurement: measure ad performance and attribution (and, where enabled, retargeting).

Some cookies may collect personal information, or become personal information if combined with other information. For details, see our Privacy Policy .

3. Types of Cookies We Use

A. Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for core site functionality (for example, navigation, basic security protections, and preventing abuse). If you disable these cookies, parts of the Services may not work properly.

B. Functional / Preference Cookies

These cookies help remember choices you make (like certain display preferences) to provide a more consistent experience.

C. Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Services (for example, which pages are visited most often, time on page, and general navigation patterns). We use this information to improve the Services.

D. Advertising / Marketing Cookies

These cookies help measure advertising campaigns and, where enabled, support retargeting. Third parties may use these technologies to recognize your device across sites over time.

Note on Specific Cookies

The specific cookies and similar technologies used can vary based on configuration and tools enabled (for example, analytics, advertising pixels, or call tracking). If we use a cookie consent banner or manager, it will provide category-level controls and may list certain cookies.

4. Your Choices & Controls

A. Consent Preferences

Where available, you can manage non-essential cookies through Consent Preferences . Essential cookies are generally required for core functionality and security.

B. Browser Controls

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through settings. You can usually:

Delete cookies
Block all cookies
Block third-party cookies
Set preferences per site

If you disable cookies, some site features may not function properly. For instructions, consult your browser’s help documentation.

C. State Privacy Opt-Outs (Sale/Sharing, Targeted Ads)

Some state privacy laws provide rights to opt out of certain disclosures for “sale/sharing” and targeted advertising. You can submit requests here:

D. Global Privacy Control (GPC)

Where required, we treat recognized opt-out preference signals (such as Global Privacy Control) as a request to opt out of certain sale/sharing and/or targeted advertising for that browser/device.

5. Other Tracking Technologies

Cookies are not the only way we may recognize or track visitors. We may use similar technologies such as pixels (also called web beacons or clear GIFs), SDKs, and local storage to:

Measure traffic and marketing performance
Understand whether you came from an ad
Improve site performance and reliability
Support security and anti-fraud measures

Some of these technologies may rely on cookies to function. Restricting cookies can limit the effectiveness of these tools.

6. Targeted Advertising

Where enabled, third parties may use cookies or similar technologies on our Services to deliver or measure advertising. These companies may collect information about your visits to this and other websites to provide relevant ads. The information collected through this process typically does not include your name or contact details unless you choose to provide them.

Industry Opt-Out Tools

You may also be able to opt out of certain targeted advertising through industry programs. Availability depends on your location and device/browser:

Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA)
Network Advertising Initiative (NAI)
European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA)

Note: Opting out does not mean you will stop seeing ads — it means the ads may be less tailored.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The “Last updated” date above indicates when this policy was last revised.
