When you visit our website, a small text file called a "cookie" may be placed in your web browser. This cookie helps us identify you as a visitor without revealing your personal information. Cookies serve various purposes, such as providing specific services, storing your preferences, delivering advertisements, and collecting analytical data.

Session cookies get deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies stay in your browser until their expiration date or until you manually delete them. These cookies have predefined expiration dates ranging from a few minutes to several years.

If a website sets cookies on your browser's hard drive, they are called "first-party cookies." However, if cookies are set from a different domain than the one you are currently on, they are known as "third-party cookies."
