2. Types of Cookies We Use
a. Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our Site, enabling core functionality like page navigation and access to secure areas. The Site cannot function properly without these cookies.

These cookies collect information on how visitors use our Site, such as which pages are most visited, and any error messages encountered. This helps us improve how the Site functions. These cookies do not collect personal information and are aggregated to maintain anonymity.

Functional cookies allow our Site to remember your preferences, such as your language or region, to provide a more personalized experience. They may be set by us or third-party providers whose services we use on our Site.
d. Targeting/Advertising Cookies
These cookies track your browsing habits to display relevant advertisements. They may be set through our Site by our advertising partners and are used to build a profile of your interests, so ads on our Site and others are more relevant to you. Disabling these cookies will not prevent ads; they will just be less relevant.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have the right to control and manage cookies on your device. You can do this in several ways:

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually set your browser to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or notify you before a cookie is set. The methods for doing this vary by browser; refer to your browser’s help section for instructions.
b. Cookie Consent Banner
Upon your first visit to our Site, you will see a cookie consent banner. You can choose to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Essential cookies, however, are necessary for the Site to function and cannot be disabled through this banner.
