Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are tiny text files websites save on your device. They're not scary - just small bits of data that help sites remember who you are and what you prefer. Without them, the web would forget you existed every time you clicked a link.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to make the site work better for you. Here's the breakdown:

• Must-Have Cookies: These keep the site running. Things like remembering you're logged in or that you accepted this cookie notice.
• Performance Cookies: Help us see what pages people visit and where they get stuck. We use this to fix problems and improve things.
• Preference Cookies: Remember your choices so you don't have to set them again every visit.
• Analytics Cookies: Give us anonymous data about how people use the site. No personal info - just aggregate numbers.
