This page provides comprehensive information about how we use cookies on our website to enhance your browsing experience, improve website performance, and deliver personalized content. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit our site.

Cookie Management & Consent

Users can manage or withdraw consent at any time through our Cookie Settings panel. When consent is withdrawn, non-essential cookies will be disabled and any previously stored identifiers used for analytics or advertising will no longer be processed.

You may also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • Block all cookies
  • Delete existing cookies
  • Block third-party cookies only
  • Set exceptions for specific websites

Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the website.

Cookie Activation & Enforcement

Our website implements a consent-based cookie control system:

  • Non-essential scripts (analytics, advertising, tracking pixels) are blocked by default
  • Cookies are only set after explicit user consent is recorded
  • Consent state is stored and checked before loading any third-party scripts
  • If consent is denied, related tags and SDKs remain inactive
  • Consent can be updated or revoked at any time, immediately stopping further tracking

We use a “prior blocking” approach, meaning scripts are prevented from loading until permission is granted.
