Types of Cookies We Use

We use different types of cookies for various purposes. Here's an overview of the categories:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation, access to secure areas, and remembering your cookie preferences. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

Performance Cookies

These cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often and if users receive error messages. This helps us improve how our website works.

Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your language preference) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

Targeting/Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

Google Fonts

We use Google Fonts to display custom fonts on our website. Google may collect usage data when fonts are loaded, but this is primarily for service improvement and does not typically involve cookies.
