Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your preferences and actions over time. Cookies cannot execute programs or deliver viruses.

We also use similar technologies including localStorage (for theme and cookie preferences) which functions like cookies but stores data locally in your browser.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for three purposes:

• Essential: To make the site function correctly — storing your display preferences and consent choices.
• Analytics: To understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it (only with your consent).
• Marketing: We do not currently use marketing or tracking cookies.
