Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.

2. How We Use Cookies

We are committed to your privacy and aim to use only strictly necessary (essential) cookies on our website. These cookies are crucial for the basic functioning of our website and to provide services you have requested. Without these cookies, our website may not operate as intended.

The essential cookies used on our website may include:

These cookies are integral to the website's operation.
