Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, smartphone, or other devices when you access websites through a browser. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, enhance user experience, and provide website operators with analytical insights. Cookies can either be session-based, lasting only for the duration of your visit, or persistent, remaining on your device for future visits.

Cookies may be classified as first-party cookies, which are set directly by the website you are visiting, or third-party cookies, which are set by external services, such as those providing analytics, advertising, or content delivery services.

In addition to cookies, our website(s) and emails may include similar technologies such as web beacons or tracking pixels. These small, transparent images are used for gathering statistical data about user interactions and may function alongside cookies. While web beacons are not stored on your device in the same way, they are often used to complement cookie functionality.
