Cookie Policy
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit websites. They help websites “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (via “session cookies”) or across multiple visits (via “persistent cookies”). Cookies ensure a smooth and efficient experience by enabling essential functions like logging in, staying logged in, and personalizing your experience. Cookies can be set by the website you’re visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third parties, such as analytics or advertising providers (“third-party cookies”).
Websites and HTML emails may also use other tracking technologies, such as “web beacons” or “pixels.” These are small, transparent images that help us gather statistics for purposes similar to cookies, like tracking email opens or website visits. Unlike cookies, web beacons are not stored on your device, but if you disable cookies, their functionality may be limited.
