What Are Cookies?

Think of cookies as small notes your browser keeps to remember things about your visit. They're tiny text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help sites remember your preferences and provide a better experience.

We use cookies the way we approach all technology: purposefully and responsibly.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

What they do: Keep our website working properly and securely.

Why we need them: These cookies enable basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas. Without them, our site can't function properly.

  • Load balancing

Can you disable them? These cookies are necessary for the site to work, but they don't track you or collect personal information.

Your choice: You can disable these in your browser settings. We'll still be here to serve you with the same level of dedication.
