1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time so you don't have to re-enter them each visit. Cookies can be "session cookies" that expire when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies" that remain on your device for a set period.

5. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

Most browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies through their settings. Instructions vary by browser:

Blocking all cookies will impact the functionality of many websites, including this one. We recommend blocking only third-party cookies if you prefer a balance between privacy and usability.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that signals to websites that you prefer not to be tracked. Our Site currently does not respond to DNT signals, as no industry standard for DNT compliance has been established. We will update this policy if standards change.
