1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, remember your preferences, and gather information that helps website owners understand how their sites are being used.

Cookies do not carry viruses and cannot access information stored elsewhere on your device. You remain in control of which cookies you allow.

2. Cookies We Use

We use four categories of cookies on this website. Essential cookies are always active; the rest are optional and subject to your consent.

Essential Cookies

Always active

These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They manage your cookie consent preferences and basic session continuity. Without them, certain parts of the site may not work as intended.

Examples: consent record, session token  ·  Duration: session or up to 1 year

Analytics Cookies

Optional

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website — which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and where they came from. This information guides improvements to the site. All data is aggregated and does not identify individuals.

Examples: page views, visit duration, referral source  ·  Duration: up to 2 years

Marketing Cookies

Optional

These cookies may be set by third-party advertising partners. They track visits across websites to help show relevant advertising. We use these sparingly and only where they support legitimate business purposes.

Examples: ad impression tracking, remarketing  ·  Duration: up to 1 year

Preference Cookies

Optional

These cookies remember choices you make on the site, such as language or display settings, so you do not have to set them again on future visits.

Examples: language setting, region  ·  Duration: up to 1 year

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some pages on this site embed content or tools from third-party services. These may set their own cookies on your device, governed by their own privacy policies. Third-party services we may use include:

  • Google Analytics (usage statistics)
  • Google Maps (location map on contact page)

We do not have direct control over the cookies these services set. We encourage you to review their respective privacy and cookie policies for full details.

4. Cookie Duration

Cookies fall into two types by duration:

  • Session cookies — exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically when you close it.
  • Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period (typically between 30 days and 2 years) or until you delete them manually.

The durations listed under each cookie category above are typical maximums. You can delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.
