Cookie Policy
Last updated: 26 April 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide reporting information to the site owner. We also use similar technologies (web beacons, pixels, local storage) — for simplicity we refer to them all as “cookies” in this policy.
