Cookie Policy

Our website utilizes cookies. When you first visit our site, you'll be prompted to consent to our cookie usage, following the terms outlined in this policy. By using our website and agreeing to this policy, you are granting permission for the use of cookies as described in this document.

An Overview of Cookies

A cookie is essentially a small file containing an identifier, typically a string of letters and numbers. This file is sent from a web server to your web browser and stored by the browser. Your browser then sends this identifier back to the server whenever it requests a page from that server.

Cookies serve various purposes, including identifying and tracking user activities across different pages on a website and recognizing users when they revisit a site.

Cookies can be classified as "persistent" or "session" cookies. A persistent cookie is a text file sent from a web server to a web browser, which the browser stores and keeps valid until a predetermined expiration date (unless you delete it before that date). In contrast, a session cookie expires at the end of your browsing session, which is when you close your web browser.
