Understanding how we use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to support site functionality.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) by your web browser when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and personalized experiences.
How We Use Cookies
Our implementation of cookies is deliberately minimal, focusing on structural stability and necessary analytics. We categorize our cookies as follows:
| Category | Purpose | Lifespan |

| Essential | Required for the basic operation of our site. This includes storing your consent preferences (e.g., whether you have accepted or rejected other cookies) so the banner does not repeatedly appear. | 1 Year |
| Functional | Used to recognize you when you return to our site and remember specific layout or user interface choices. | Session / 30 Days |
| Analytics | Allows us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our site. This helps us improve the way our website works (e.g., ensuring users find what they are looking for easily). | Up to 2 Years |
