Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on your device to operate the site, remember preferences, measure usage, and deliver ads. Similar technologies (e.g., local storage, SDKs, pixels) may be used for the same purposes.

How We Use Cookies

• Strictly necessary — required to load pages, balance traffic, and keep the site secure. These run without consent.
• Analytics (Google Analytics 4) — helps us understand what content is useful and improve the site. Set only after consent where required. GA4 provides regional privacy controls and does not log or store IP addresses.
• Advertising (e.g., Google AdSense) — enables ad delivery and measurement. Depending on your choice, ads may be non-personalized or personalized using cookies/identifiers (e.g., frequency capping, fraud prevention, reporting). Set only after consent where required.

Your Choices

On first visit you can Accept, Reject, or Customize non-essential cookies. You can change or withdraw consent anytime via
Cookie settings (also available in the footer as Your Privacy Choices). You can also clear cookies in your browser settings.

How Our Tags Respond to Consent (Google Consent Mode v2)

Until you consent, Google tags operate in a limited mode. Based on your choices we update the following signals for Google tags: analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization. When consent is denied, tags are restricted; when granted, tags may set/read cookies as described above.

Partners

• Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd.) — measurement and aggregated reporting.
• Google advertising services (Google Ireland Ltd.) — ad delivery and measurement; certain third-party vendors may set/read cookies for ads and measurement.

Regional Information

EEA/UK/Switzerland

We use a consent banner with an opt-in model. Non-essential cookies are set only after valid consent. The first-layer banner presents Accept and Reject with equal prominence. You can review or change your choices anytime via Cookie settings.

United States (California)

California residents have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Use the footer link Your Privacy Choices (also accessible through Cookie settings) to exercise this right. We also honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals sent by your browser as a valid opt-out request.

Retention

Cookie lifetimes vary by category and partner (from session-only up to several months). See your browser’s cookie list or the partner list in our consent banner for details.

Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy as our site or partners change. The latest version and effective date will always appear on this page.
