1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

2. How We Use Cookies

We take a minimal approach to cookies. Our website does not use:

• Analytics or tracking cookies
• Advertising or marketing cookies
• Social media tracking cookies
• Third-party profiling cookies

The only cookies on our website come from the optional Google Translate feature, which allows you to view our content in different languages.

3. Cookies We Use

The following table explains the cookies that may be set if you choose to use the translation feature:

4. Your Cookie Choices

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner at the bottom of the page. You have two choices:

Accept Cookies

If you click "Accept", the Google Translate widget will be enabled, allowing you to translate the website into your preferred language. Google Translate cookies will be set as described above.

Decline Cookies

If you click "Decline", no cookies will be set. The translation feature will be disabled, but the website will function normally in English. You can change this decision at any time by clicking the globe icon (🌐) in the navigation menu.

5. How to Manage Cookies

In addition to the choices we provide, you can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View what cookies are stored and delete them individually
• Block third-party cookies
• Block cookies from specific websites

6. Local Storage

We use your browser's local storage to remember your cookie consent preference. This is not a cookie—it's a small piece of data stored locally in your browser that simply records whether you accepted or declined cookies. This data:

• Is stored only on your device
• Is not sent to any server
• Can be cleared through your browser settings
• Allows us to remember your preference so you don't see the banner on every page

7. Third-Party Cookies

The only third-party cookies on our website come from Google Translate (if you accept cookies). Google's use of cookies is governed by their own privacy policy. For more information, please visit:
