What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They allow sites to remember information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have seen a particular notice — making subsequent visits more efficient and the experience more relevant.
Cookies do not give us access to your computer or any information about you beyond what you choose to share. Most web browsers accept cookies by default, but you can choose to block or delete them through your browser settings.
Cookies We Use

These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They enable core features such as navigation and access to secure areas of the site. The website cannot operate properly without them, and they cannot be disabled through our cookie controls.

Third-Party Cookies

Each provider operates under its own privacy policy. We recommend reviewing these if you have questions about how they handle data.
