What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and understand how the site is used so the site can work better. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, while others are used for purposes like analytics and require your choice.

Types of Cookies We Use

Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website by collecting data using pseudonymous identifiers to generate aggregated statistics (for example, which pages are visited and how the site is navigated).
Legal basis: Requires user consent

Third-Party Services and Data Recipients

Google Analytics (Google LLC) provides analytics services that help us measure website performance and understand how visitors interact with our website. Data collected through these cookies is processed in accordance with Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

We use our own consent management system (Trustwards) to record your cookie preferences. The 'trustwardsCookie' stores which cookie categories you have accepted or rejected, ensuring your choices persist across visits. This cookie is strictly necessary for compliance with applicable privacy regulations and consumer choice requirements. Your consent data is processed securely and is not shared with third parties unless legally required.

International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers are located outside the applicable jurisdictional safeguards:

- Google Analytics: Headquartered in the United States. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF).

We recommend reviewing each provider's privacy policy for detailed information about their data protection measures.

Legal Basis for Processing

Under the CCPA/CPRA, cookies and similar identifiers can be used for purposes such as providing services, security, and measuring website performance. Strictly necessary cookies (if used) are permitted as they are required for core website functionality and to provide the service you request. All other cookies, including analytics cookies, are used based on your choices and can be turned off through our cookie preferences controls. Where cookie-based data sharing is considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising or a “sale” under the CCPA/CPRA, we provide the right to opt out, including recognition of the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where enabled in your browser.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can accept or reject non-essential cookie categories at any time, and you can change your choices whenever you want.
You can manage or withdraw your cookie consent at any time through the cookie preferences link in our website footer, or by adjusting your browser settings.
If you opt out of non-essential cookies, we will not use those cookies going forward, and any cookies already set can be removed through your browser settings.
